Diamond calculator : Description
   
 
What is DiamCalc?
Diamond calculator is a system of modeling cut gemstones, which enables the precise calculation of the diamond weight and determination of the cut proportions. The real (photorealistic) image of a polished diamond created by the system makes it possible to determine the cut parameters that cannot be measured and to select the optimal combination of the parameters to obtain the best perception (luster, brilliance, fire) of the stone. Necessary cut parameters can be obtained by comparison of the real diamond to the computer image.

Who needs the diamond calculator?

Diamond calculator is designed for jewelers, diamond graders, sale specialists dealing with diamonds and diamond jewelry, manufacturers, and technologists.


How does it work?

The working interface of the program is separated in two: left – model image of the stone; right – data and options. As you set or change the cut style, dimensions, and the parameters of material in the right side, respective changes are promptly displayed on the stone image in the left side of the screen.


Main features
Precise calculation of the stone weight with regard for all the main parameters, such as diameter, total depth, girdle thickness, pavilion depth, crown angle, etc.;

Consideration of the culet size and convexity of shoulders and wings;

Possibility to work with the main diamond cut styles: Brilliant, Oval, Marquise, Pear, Princess, Baguette, Happy-8, Emerald, Flanders, Heart.

Determination of fixed or variable parameters;

Selection of the main and additional cut parameters. Fixation of some parameters.Use of standard proportions (Tolkowsky, etc.);

Determination of parameter combinations for diamond grading,
including GIA, HRD, AGA, and Russian TU systems. Evaluation of the defects deteriorating the diamond perception;

Schematic three-dimensional images of a polished diamond:

-Outline model (framework) and refraction-1 model, which shows the refraction of back facets seen through the front facets;

-“Photorealistic” image of a diamond taking into account light absorption, repeated reflections, dispersion, and variable lighting;

-“Stereo mode” - three-dimensional image of diamond that can be seen with a pair of stereo glasses.

Price lists. Price calculation based on color, clarity, and fluorescence.
