Watch this before buying a Portuguese cut gemstone #engagementring #engagementrings #diamond

ive never realized that dealing with jewelry would need some physics and chemistry (the structure of the stone and refractive indices) I think it’s really fascinating. I love your channel and I can’t help but think that you’re so pretty and cute and everything beautiful 😞🩷

As a Portuguese, I seriously love this cut 😂

My engagement ring has a portuguese cut blue green moissanite. I absolutely love it.

Thank you u beautiful gorgeous 😍 woman you actually teach about this stuff and not pretend like most 💯

It's actually a fantastic cut for stones that have comparatively little fire despite their indices of refraction being relatively high, such as spinel or tourmaline, but the thing about this cut being ideally suited to lighter colored stones is still very true, but not because you're aiming for more fire, but for the same reason that emeralds get faceted so often with deep pavilions: you want the depth of the cut to reinforce the color of the stone instead of relying too heavily on the internal reflections to do so. While this cut does work fairly well with stones like corundum, you want to avoid the more vibrant colorations as those have a peculiar light dispersion quality to them that leads to the cut not showing much flash and fire. Paler colors of corundum are perfectly viable, though, just make sure to adjust all of your angles in your stone faceting planning software for the relevant specifications of your gemstone so it can be optimized properly and you can avoid as many dead zones as possible.

that sunflower looks like my ring but even prettier!!!

Will extinction be black in other colored gemstones? Because I kind of think that if you have some kind of green gemstone and it appears dark green instead of black, it could look really cool but I don't know if that's how it works 😂

Is there a “best gemstone” or optimal gemstone for this cut? (in terms of shine, color, durability, hardness etc.) 🤔

[BARK]

Would Aquamarine be a good stone in a Portuguese cut?

[theirldazai]

Im portuguese but Im not a big fan of that cut

[Gemini]

I don't like this cut. Looks cheap.

[LooselyGrope]

I'm not a fan of that cut. It's a bit....trashy looking to me.

[Neerepha]

That's so lovely! I didn't know the name of this cut but I've always loved it. Thank you so much for teaching us❤

[Aarbitraary]

I personally really like the eye effect. It's like an optical illusion, and it's super mesmerizing.

[savannahs]

I would also love to know more about starbrite cut sapphires. Another really interesting cut

[Katy_night]

This is fascinating. Thank you for educating us.

[lumindoesvideos]

The eye effect is kinda cool. And this cut looks so neat.

[hyde]

the blue ones look like when you're staring at the bottom of a clear lake

[antoniamakridakis]

Can you talk about Jann Paul’s new Octagonn Nova cut? It’s a cross between a round brilliant and a Portuguese cut, so it’s much less busy than Portuguese but is still super sparkly with 137 facets and a floral/snowflake-like pattern in the center

Thank you for going over this cut as I remember I requested it not too long ago 💕☺️
