Parameters of our Melee diamonds

Pavilion Faceting
Pavilion faceting is the first step of a melee diamond’s polishing. There are 24 facets in a pavilion section of a diamond. Ideal cut diamonds also called as Belgium cut melee diamonds have an angle of 41° - 42° degrees. It is very important to maintain the degree level between this range for light to perfectly pass through and reflect. The Pavilion depth maintained between 43% - 44%, a perfect depth/height required for ideal cut melee diamonds.
Crown Faceting
Crown faceting is the second step of polishing a melee diamond. A crown section of an ideal cut melee diamond has 32 facets. At Shining Star, we maintain an angular degree level between 34° - 35° degrees and height of 14% - 15%. For ideal cut diamonds this angular level and height is important to produce a bright diamond.
Polishing Table
Too Shallow
Shining Star's Ideal Cut
Too Deep
After faceting crown, the table is polished to give a bright shine. The table size of Shining Star’s Belgium cut melee diamond is between 59% - 60%. The table size should be proportionate to the size of crown and pavilion.
Girdle
Last stage of polishing process is girdle. A perfect girdle thickness for Belgium cut diamonds is between 2% - 3%.
