MSS Cutting Rules

Unless otherwise stipulated all stones will be

• 3/4ct 5.8mm (5.75-5.85) rounds
• Hearts and Arrows level symmetry
• GIA Ex Polish and symmetry
• No painting or digging
• G to F
• VS2 / SI1
• Non Fluoro
• Average Girdle thickness: Medium 3% at mains
• No more than +- 0.3% girdle variation around each stone
• All must get GIA EX Cut grade (unless other request)
  • e.g. depth % must be less than 63%
  • Star facets 55% +- 2%
  • Lower girdle half Length = 80% (as measured by the GIA and Sarin approach) +- 2% (but 78% is better then 82%)

Accuracy

Pavilion +- 0.2° within each stone. But better accuracy between stones Crown +- 0.2°, Table +- 0.5%, Girdle +- 0.3%.
Diameter deviation should be within 10-20 microns (0.01-0.02 mm).
Azimuth (index) variation maximum +- 0.5°. Average less then 0.3° (we can discuss it).

In this example all cut parameters should be identical with "accuracy" 0.1°. For example, the difference in pavilion angle between diamonds T55% P41.75° Cr34.5° and T57% P41.75° Cr34.5° should not be more than 0.1°.

For example T55% P41.65° Cr34.5° and T57% P41.75° Cr34.5° would be acceptable accuracy error is up to +-0.1°. But this example would not be acceptable T55% P41.65° Cr34.5° and T57% P41.85° Cr34.5° (accuracy 0.2°).

MSS Fire serie

The stones could have any parameters for the best Fire.
