Diamond: IDEAL CUTS
The GIA diamond course defined an
ideal cut as Tolkowski cut. Tolkowski had been assigned by
the diamond company he worked for to find the "ideal cut"
. He started by setting out hundreds of diamonds on the sidewalks
of London (in 1919) asking passerbys' which diamond they preferred.
From this research, he wrote the following formula:
The Tolkowski cut called for a 53% table, and a depth of 59.3%,
plus the girdle (outside edge of the diamond). Many years
later, Larzar-Kaplan brought this cut to the American public
but it did not sell for two reasons: The stone was very expensive;
and, it reminded people too much of an Old European cut diamond
(the table being too small).
Together with GIA, Larzar-Kaplan came up with the new "American
Ideal Cut". This diamond called for a 53%-57% table with the
same depth. In Europe, a 63% table is generally preferred.
