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,丽泽高伦先生的表亲马塞尔托卡斯基(Marcel Tolkowsky)研发出一套复杂的数学方程式,以最精确的角度和比例切割钻石。对丽泽高伦先生而言,此方程式正是「完美车工」的最佳定义,并能将钻石之美发挥到极致。尽管市场上有其他公司采用此方程式生产完美车工的钻石,但只有麗澤美鑽®贯彻始终如一,以最精准严谨的车工标准切割每一颗钻石,于丽泽高伦公司所出产的芸芸钻石当中,只有百分之一至二能达至完美车工的严谨标准,并冠以麗澤美鑽®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.
每颗麗澤美鑽®均以完美车工比例切割。只有完美车工的麗澤美鑽®,才能充份将钻石中央的光线,由冠部折射出璀璨夺目的光芒。若切割过程稍有偏差,光线便会从两旁或亭部溜走,严重削弱了钻石的光辉。钻石只有配上丽泽完美车工,才会恒久发放万丈光芒。
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.
