Scinta-What?<\/h2>\n

\nScintillation is something you may hear a Jeweler talk about<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nEspecially if he’s talking about CUT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nBecause CUT brings out the Scintillation<\/strong> of a Diamond more than any other Diamond Aspect.<\/p>\n

So What Is Scintillation?<\/h2>\n

\nDANCING LIGHT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nMore Specifically, the Light Effects that Emit<\/strong> from a Diamond. <\/p>\n

\nYou see, when you Hold a Diamond up and Tilt it Back and Forth<\/strong>, and Rotate it<\/strong> around in Circles, Light enters the Stone, and either it Reflects off the Surface<\/strong> of the Stone, Bounds back out<\/strong> of the Stone to the Eye in White Light, called “Brilliance<\/strong>“, or gets Bounced across the Pavilion<\/strong> where it comes out in Tons of Colored Light called “Fire<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\nThis entire Fireworks Display of Multiple Lights looks like a Disco-Ball<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nIt’s the Life and Beauty and Sparkle<\/strong> of any Diamond.<\/p>\n

\nThis Stunning Eye-Candy<\/strong> is what Scintillation is all about.<\/p>\n

GIA’s Description of Scintillation reads:<\/h2>\n

“Flashes of Light Reflected from a Polished Diamond. Seen when either the Diamond, the Light Source, or the Observer moves.<\/p>\n

\nBesides Diamond’s Inherent Optical Properties, Scintillation Depends on the Number and Size of the Facets, the Precision of the Facet Angles, and the Quality of the Polish.<\/p>\n

\nSometimes called Sparkle!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n(From the GIA Diamond Dictionary<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\nSee, it’s the Dramatic Light Effects, and it really comes from How Well a Diamond is Cut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nTo get the Best Scintillation<\/strong>, Buy a Diamond that has a Combo of “Excellent<\/strong>” Cut, “Excellent<\/strong>” Polish, and “Excellent<\/strong>” Symmetry!<\/p>\n

\nAnd you can Buy these Diamonds HERE at James Allen!<\/a><\/p>\n

\nNow those are Diamonds that will Knock her Socks off!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
