Actual diamond size
Before purchasing a diamond, one should make sure it looks its weight.
It's important to understand that
carat weight does not equal face-up size.
Two diamonds of exactly the same weight (and shape) can vary quite considerably in face-up size. This depends on the proportions of the cut (e.g., deep cuts will face up smaller).

Face-up area is a measure of the size of the diamond
when viewed from the top (as set in a ring).
It tells you how big the diamond is at the girdle plane. It's important for a diamond to have sufficient face-up size for its carat weight.

to its width. The total depth percentage of this diamond
is 61.2%, which is OK.
(Recommended depth percentage for Hearts is between 56% and
65%)
Depth percentage for hearts is calculated with the following formula:

About Depth Percentage
Depth percentage is one of the most important measurements as it plays a critical role in diamond's
appearance. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, light leaks out, making
the stone less brilliant and fiery. Deep cuts also add hidden weight.
Diamonds that fall out of recommended depth range are generally less desirable and usually best to be avoided.

Face-up size evaluation for 1.13 carat Heart (7.66×7.94×4.86mm)
The face-up size of this 1.13 carat Heart
(7.66×7.94×4.86mm) is out of normal range for
1.13ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 1.13
carat Heart reference diamond, this diamond appears too big
when viewed from the top. You might think that's a good thing, however, it's not.
This is a so called spread cut.
A spread cut is a diamond that is cut to maximize spread instead of optimal light performance. If compared from above, it would look larger than a well cut 1.13ct Heart. This is not a good thing. Spread cuts are typically too shallow, which allows light to leak out of the stone resulting in less light being reflected back to the viewer's eye.
Spread cuts usually look lifeless and flat, and can sometimes exhibit a fish-eye effect. They may also come with an extremely thin girdle which can easily chip.

Spread cuts usually look lifeless and flat, and can sometimes exhibit a fish-eye effect. They may also come with an extremely thin girdle which can easily chip.
The bottom line:
Spread cuts generally lack the brilliance and perfection that is
expected of a beautiful diamond. Don't be fooled into thinking that you're
getting a larger diamond for the money. This could be a rather flat, boring stone.
1.13 carat Heart reference diamond
Since there are no specific ideal proportions defined for Heart cuts,
an estimation formula is used to calculate the Heart reference diamond.
|
|
Note: Heart diamonds with face-up area of within 9% lower
and 12% higher than reference Heart diamond area
are considered to be of adequate face-up size.
* Estimated Face-up area: Face-up area of Heart cuts
is only an estimation (±5%). Due to uniqueness of each stone,
it's impossible to accurately calculate face-up area given only a diamond's measurements.

Face-up size evaluation for 1.59 carat Heart (7.96×8.43×4.21mm)
The face-up size of this 1.59 carat Heart
(7.96×8.43×4.21mm) is slightly out of normal range for
1.59ct diamonds of this shape. Compared to 1.59
carat Heart reference diamond, this diamond seems a bit too large
when viewed from the top. This could be indicative of a spread cut, which is not a good sign.
A spread cut is a diamond that is cut to maximize spread. In this case, it would look larger than a well cut 1.59 carat Heart when viewed from the top, however, this is usually not a good thing. Spread cuts are typically too shallow, which allows light to leak out of the stone instead of being properly returned back to the viewer's eye.
Spread cuts can look lifeless and flat, and can sometimes exhibit a fish-eye effect. They may also come with an extremely thin girdle which can easily chip.

Face-up Area per Carat
Face-up area per carat is calculated by dividing face-up area of the diamond with
its carat weight. It tells you how many square millimeters of the top surface area
a diamond is showing or would show for 1 carat weight. This can be useful when comparing stones
of similar weights as it tells you how much spread per carat you will get.
Note: Face-up size does not linearly grow with carat weight,
which means the heavier the stone, the smaller its face-up area per carat (e.g., 1ct stone will have
higher face-up area per carat than 2ct stone).
Face-up area per carat
for 1.13ct Heart (7.66×7.94×4.86mm):
Top surface area = 43.79 mm²
Weight = 1.13ct
Face-up area per carat = 43.79 ÷ 1.13 = 38.75mm²/ct
Weight = 1.13ct
Face-up area per carat = 43.79 ÷ 1.13 = 38.75mm²/ct
Face-up area per carat
for 1.59ct Heart (7.96×8.43×4.21mm):
Top surface area = 48.31 mm²
Weight = 1.59ct
Face-up area per carat = 48.31 ÷ 1.59 = 30.38mm²/ct
Weight = 1.59ct
Face-up area per carat = 48.31 ÷ 1.59 = 30.38mm²/ct
