In 1919, Marcel Tolkowsky, a cousin of Lazare Kaplan, developed a complex mathematical formula for cutting a diamond to its precise angles and proportions. To Lazare Kaplan, the formula came to define the "ideal-cut" which maximizes a diamond’s beauty. There is no denying that other diamond cutters have applied the formula to produce ideal-cut diamonds, but only LAZARE Diamonds® are cut consistently to the highest and most stringent standard without exception. Only 1% to 2% of LKI production meets the quality and uncompromising ideal-cut standards deserving of LAZARE Diamonds®.
1919年,麗澤高倫先生的表親馬塞爾托卡斯基(Marcel Tolkowsky)研發出一套複雜的數學方程式,以最精確的角度和比例切割鑽石。對麗澤高倫先生而言,此方程式正是「完美車工」的最佳定義,並能將鑽石之美發揮到極致。儘管市場上有其他公司採用此方程式生產完美車工的鑽石,但只有麗澤美鑽®貫徹始終如一,以最精準嚴謹的車工標準切割每一顆鑽石,於麗澤高倫公司所出產的芸芸鑽石當中,只有百分之一至二能達至完美車工的嚴謹標準,並冠以麗澤美鑽®之名。
Every LAZARE® diamond is ideal-cut. When a diamond is ideally cut, light rays from all sides are bent towards the center of the diamond and are reflected back through the top in a blaze of light. If a diamond is not ideally cut, light will “leak out” through the sides or bottom of the diamond. The ideal-cut guarantees you a spectacular balance of brilliance, scintillation and fire.
每顆麗澤美鑽®均以完美車工比例切割。只有完美車工的麗澤美鑽®,才能充份將鑽石中央的光線,由冠部折射出璀璨奪目的光芒。若切割過程稍有偏差,光線便會從兩旁或亭部溜走,嚴重削弱了鑽石的光輝。鑽石只有配上麗澤完美車工,才會恒久發放萬丈光芒。
Every LAZARE® diamond is cut for maximum beauty, not weight.
The ideal cut is a mathematical formula for cutting diamonds to precise angles and proportions which guarantees you a spectacular balance of brilliance, scintillation and fire.
See for yourself by asking your jeweler to show you the difference between an ideal cut LAZARE® diamond and other diamonds. When you see it, you just know.
