What a great illustration & explanation of the crucial properties of cut!!👍🏻

This is one of the most informative, useful, straightforward, easily understood explanations I’ve watched regarding this topic and it’s great seeing visual representation of what is being discussed where no fancy lighting or enhancements are being used. It’s so helpful to see side by side comparisons. It’s helpful to be able to identify and articulate WHY one diamond will look different to another despite a similar size, shape and “cut” and also demonstrates how significantly a good cut can change the appearance. Up until now I could never figure out why antique/vintage diamonds looked different to modern ones too.
We appreciate the feedback and we're glad that the video was put to good use!
Hi thehundredsNY,
It could very well be applied to that and even standard "pave" set items. It's not an "official" trade term. I've seen the term used many times by consumers to describe certain appearance in engagement ring type diamonds and thought I'd make this program to help clarify. Thanks for your comment.
Excellent Video!
Thanks, we're glad we are able to be of assistance!
@apham126 Good question. Unfortunately with the GIA grading system there is no cut grade for cushions or cushion modified's (or any fancy shape for that matter) that show you what we are showing you in this video. Currently there are only 2 cushions that are graded for light performance and that from AGS Labs. Those 2 are the Brellia (Square Cushion Hearts & Arrows) and the August Vintage Cushion. A cushion or cushion modified can have GIA Excellent "polish" & "symmetry" and still be a dud.
so helpful!
Hi hazy. thanks for your question. That's just it ... there is no single facet pattern that is exempt from a "crushed ice" appearance. It exists in chunky faceted cushions as well as modern faceted cushions and is due primarily to the crown angle/pavilion angle/table/depth measurements. This info is not on a GIA report. It is something that must be seen and observed. When a crystal ball is invented to know this information without seeing it, believe me I'll be the first to have it. ;)
I like the slushy cut diamond. 😊
You sold my friend Mary-Ann a 2 1/2 Ct pear it is exquisite and she Is happy with
it
Hey Mimi, We're glad that MaryAnn loves the diamond! : )
Neato!
10:43 very bright
What do you consider the minimum cut (make) of modified brilliant cushion diamond for optimum fire & sparkle? ? Ideal or excellent?
Thanks for the video. Is the depth and table % causing most of the slushy look? The reason I ask is because I've purchased a 1.8ct elongated cmd with the advised %. Is there something else outside the GIA report that causes bad cut quality? Im within the return window so seriously considering returning for a square or princess cut (although it will cost me more). Once in a lifetime purchase and I want the fire. Thanks.
That's a great question. We've seen two Cushion diamonds with similar depth and table percentages and once was "crushed ice" was the other was "super brilliant". So the table and depth percentage isn't as much as a factor compared to the organization of their facet structures.
Similar to Cushion diamonds, princess diamonds are all over the place as well. If you purchase one based off the paperwork alone, it's like picking out of a hat. However if your able to see an AET image of the diamond before the purchase is made, it should take the guessing game out of the equation (regardless of the diamonds shape). We do this all the time for customers and we're usually able to compete with anyone's prices in doing so.
If interested in having us personally assist you with your purchase to make sure your getting the most "band for your buck" (assuming your still in the return period), feel free to contact matt@goodoldgold.com and I'll be happy to further assist!
i was under the impression crushed ice was micro pave jewelry
Idk. I truly love the watery crushed ice. I think the bright crushed ice is too gaudy and flashy.
the main reason I publish these videos C is so consumers can see and make their own decisions. If you prefer a certain style, that's what you should get.
agreed.
What about the radiant crushed ice cut that ends up looking like fine grade glitter (like as fine as in eye shadow) in a radiant cut? This seems to be a popular trend thanks to the Kardashians.
You are correct. Many of our customers love the elongated shape and sparkle that the radiant shape offers. We're currently selling about 15 Radiants to 1 Princess (thanks to the Kardashians, lol). There have also been times where I've had customers come in for Emeralds and I'll show them a Radiant as well (since they are the same shape). Over half have passed over the Emerald and went for the Radiant due to that glitter you're referring to. So, it's really on a customer-to-customer basis as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@missydebby Just caught this. :) THANKS!!!
Do you know is zen moissanite crushed ice is good? Or brilliant?
That's a great question. After my research, they seem to be non-crushed ice and cut for really nice optical performance.
What facility are you talking about
Hey Kendrick, the video's pretty long lol.. At what time-frame in the video was that word mentioned? Once you get back to me, I'll figure it out from there and get back to you. Thanks,
i didn't see any crushed ice ;)
Nessa T here is your crushed ice..!
please mute or change the background music. interesting info but the music is driving me crazy.
Point duly noted.
