  consumer info : Beauty Component / Index Rating

 


To us, all diamonds are individually beautiful. However, to truly find the beauty that one diamond has over another, they must be compared side by side, furthermore, most diamonds are usually sold this way anyway.

Our Beauty Component Rating™ and Cut Beauty Index Rating™ work best when the two diamonds being compared are laid down side by side with our rating information. These ratings will quantify what your eye sees in each diamond and allow you to judge the beauty for your self.

The forces that drive our products and information:

Beauty Component Rating
Cut Beauty Index Rating
  • Enumerates the individual beauty components (Brilliance, Fire, and Scintillation) the human eye perceives as beauty in a diamond.
  • Enumerates the overall beauty perceived by the human eye when all the beauty components are combined from all viewing directions
Important Points To Remember...
  • Accuracy in both of these beauty ratings requires the diamond be modeled properly, illuminated properly, and finally, analyzed and interpreted the exact way the human eye does.
  • Many other cut grade technologies successfully analyze and or rate one or more of these beauty components, usually in just the face up view. But these methods only tell part of the answer
  • To have the full answer, DTI technology rates the collection of all the beauty components from every viewing angle, simultaneously, the way it occurs in reality.
