What is a water droplet shaped diamond?

Water droplet shaped cut diamonds are unique in diamond cutting due to their soft curves and protruding tips. This historic diamond cutter, also known as the "tear drop", "pear shaped" or "Pendlock", is one of Melbourne's most sought after diamond engagement rings and one of the most dazzling cuts.

history

In 1456, diamond cutting master Ludwig van Burken created the revolutionary Scarf machine, a wheel capable of cutting and polishing diamonds with extremely high accuracy and precision. This allowed him to discover the concepts of symmetry and cross-sectional position within diamonds, and to unleash the true beauty of diamonds by optimizing their optical performance.

The famous Van Burken once polished some of the world's largest and most precious royal diamonds. In 1475, Van Burken created the first water droplet shaped cutting diamond, which became the most unique creation of that era.

Cutting diamonds in the shape of water droplets is like a sparkling water droplet. Water droplet cutting is a combination of horse eye and circular bright cutting, with a surface area of about 8% more than that of circular drills. Water droplet shaped cut diamonds have the same fire color, brightness, and optical symmetry as circular bright cut diamonds, while the price is also moderate in comparison.
