Through the use of our database information, DTI
can provide diamond grading labs the scientific basis to establish
new proportion grade parameters that are based on look/beauty of
the diamond vs. predetermined proportion parameters. This philosophy
that the "look" of a diamond should be the true measure
of the cut performance will provide new proportions that will give
cutters additional yield when applied to specific rough shapes.
DTI’s cut grade certification is the only
cut grade system in existence that measures Brilliance (Light return),
Fire (Colored Light), and Scintillation (Sparkle), as it truly occurs
in reality. DTI provides more than just a number or grade, DTI provides
a numerical representation of why a diamond is beautiful, ex Does
a diamond have more sparkliness, or more fire.
In other words….
We
describe what is unique about the look of the diamond,
something a consumer can see with his/her own eyes.
DTI provides certification
for:
Individual cut diamonds.
Range of proportions of specified
cut style.
Fancy Cut Grade:
Only system in existence that rates
fancy cuts

Note:
All DTI ratings and certifications assume good symmetry and
polish and are based on averaged proportions.
