METHODS FOR PROCESSING ORNAMENTAL DIAMONDS AND CORRESPONDING ORNAMENTAL DIAMONDS

摘要

A method for processing diamonds and corresponding ornamental diamond structures employ diamonds having visible cloud inclusions. The diamond is cut and polished to form crown and pavilion facets angled so as to form a light transmission window over a readily noticeable portion of an area of the diamond. This renders a geometrical form of the cloud inclusion readily visible to the unaided human eye. Preferably, a major part of the light transmission window is formed by a primary table facet of the crown and a primary base facet of the pavilion angled which are roughly parallel to each other.
