What is Diamond Cut Jewelry?

Ahhh, the beauty of diamonds!

How they sparkle and shine like a billion stars in the sky…

Oh, wait!

Those aren’t diamonds!

They’re “diamond cuts”!

Huh?

Diamond Cuts?

Diamond cut jewelry used to be really, really popular in the 80’s.

Everywhere you turned jewelry had that bedazzled look to it! It still is popular in certain types of jewelry like charms (see picture), chains and bracelets (and maybe a couple of those spinner-rings!)

Diamond cuts were designed for one main reason:

To enhance the look of jewelry!

Let’s clear one thing up… Diamond cuts are NOT diamonds! Oh-No! (Gasp!)

Diamond cuts are nothing more than notches or grooves cut into the metal (Usually made by a jeweler’s chisel). That’s it!

A type of finish on the metal, just like satin finish, matte finish or sandblasting.

Diamond cuts are just a simple jeweler’s trick to make the outer metal surface glisten.

Nothing Fancy! Nothing Fun!

Those grooves are smooth and highly polished and the results are astonishing!

Light reflects and dances off those polished mirrors and makes the jewelry sparkle like crazy (Gimme my sunglasses!)

Just rotating diamond cut jewelry will cause the light to hit those beveled edges and makes it sparkle and shine like a disco-ball!

Those bright flashes of light often give the appearance of beautiful diamonds sparkling!

AHHA!

Hence the name:

Diamond Cut! (Sneaky sparkles!)

Diamonds cuts are usually added into jewelry to help give it some pizazz and POP (A lot of cheaper jewelry needs this).

Any item that lacks diamonds or gems could benefit from the presence of diamond cut. It makes them look more appealing, impressive and expensive. And who doesn’t like their jewelry to shine like a million dollars?

In fact, some of the biggest selling items on the market have diamond cuts… Like diamond cut ropes, hoop earrings, pendants, bracelets…

And with a variety of metals too, like 10k, 14k Gold, and Sterling Silver. Take a look the next time you’re out…

It’s Everywhere!

Customers love the sparkle and attention it brings. And the funny thing is, most customers are surprised to find out that there are NO gemstones in the merchandise.

“What? NO WAY!”

They get closer to inspect… “Well, I’ll be….

That’s the beauty of diamond cuts!

Deceiving?

Not really! More like a fun-house mirror! Bling-Bling!

Truth is, some jewelry needs all the help it can get! (I’m talking to you – diamond-cut rose-heart pendant!)

Sadly, if you take a good look at most diamond cut jewelry, you will notice some surprising details about it…

The cuts are uneven!

None of the grooves are perfect, straight or equal in size. This is because it’s done by hand by the jeweler. Those cuts end up jagged, deep, uneven and randomly spaced. Look at them. It’s um, quite interesting!

Maybe the sparkles will help hide this fact? Who knows?

Most people don’t care!

People like the glitz and glamour of it all. Bring on the sparkles!

What about you?

Do diamond cuts dazzle and delight you?

Or does diamond dut NOT make the cut?

Cheers! :)

    Hey, I’d like the REAL thing, too, but I can’t shell out the hundreds, or even thousands of dollars for the real thing, so I’ll gladly take my Sterling Silver Diamond Cut Cuban Curb Chain necklace over the so-called ‘real thing’ any day :)
