The Couples Diamond® brand diamonds are possibly the highest quality diamonds on the market. They are assured to have maximum brilliance and quality. The Couples Diamonds are cut to perfection and have the highest grading of polish and symmetry. A super ideal cut diamond returns 98% of the light entering it, giving it incredible brilliance. What makes the The Couples Diamond brand so high quality?

Cut is the most complicated and the most important of the 4C's. All Couples Diamonds are cut to ideal proportions and certified by either the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS). These are the two most reliable certifying organizations. The ideal proportions for round brilliant diamonds have been standardized by the independent certifying organizations for a number of years. These ideal proportions are the most important of the factors that affect the quality of a diamond. It is the diamond's cut that has, by far, the greatest effect on the light transmission of a diamond. A diamond's proportions must be in the ideal range to have the greatest brilliance, fire and scintillation.

The Couples Diamonds exceed even the stringent standards for ideal cut diamonds, they are super ideal cut. Not only are The Couples Diamonds cut to ideal proportions, they also show the Hearts and Arrows pattern. The Hearts and Arrows pattern can be seen in the pictures below:


The Hearts and Arrows pattern signifies that a diamond's optical symmetry is nearly perfect. All 58 facets of a round brilliant cut diamond must line up perfectly in order for a correct Hearts and Arrows pattern to be visible. If even a couple facets are somewhat out of line it will be noticeable, the hearts may bleed into each other or the arrows may be formed improperly. The pictures show how some imperfect Hearts or Arrows may appear.


Even ideally cut diamonds will not necessarily show the Hearts and Arrows pattern. Consumers should beware some diamonds are said to have the Hearts and Arrows pattern, but in reality have inconsistencies that show an imperfect cut. An ideal cut diamond can have anywhere from a nearly perfect pattern to barely recognizable Hears and Arrows. Only a diamond that is ideally cut and shows a true Hearts and Arrows pattern is super ideal cut. All Couples Diamond brand diamonds are super ideal cut; guaranteed to show the Hearts and Arrows pattern, have high quality polish, and are ideal cut. You can rely on The Couples Diamond brand super ideal diamonds for consistency and quality.

Super ideal cut diamonds achieve the pinnacle of light transmission. This is why they are so superior. The brilliance and sparkle of a super ideal cut diamond is remarkable. It is so intense, in fact, that the brilliance can make inclusions in a diamond less apparent to the naked eye. A diamond which would normally not be eye clean may appear eye clean because of the excellence of the cut. The intensity of the brilliance draws the eye so much that the appearance of a diamond of lesser quality in clarity or color is improved dramatically. The quality of the cut of The Couples Diamond is so good that it may be worthwhile to sacrifice other qualities when shopping for a diamond. Once you see the beauty of The Couples Diamond you will be truly amazed.
