Fire Describe a Diamond
The term fire is commonly used to describe a diamond, but what does it refer to? The ancient Greeks thought that fire in a diamond symbolized the eternal flame of love. Fire in a diamond is the dispersed light that appears as rainbow-like flashes of color. You can usually observe a diamond’s fire in places like restaurants or clubs where the light is lower. The amount of fire depends on how the stone is cut and faceted. Older cut diamonds appear as if they have more fire because they’re cut with steep crown angles and flatter tables of the facets.
Other characteristics that are used to evaluate a diamond include brilliance and scintillation. Brilliance requires both brightness and contrast in the diamond and refers to how light is reflected back to the viewer, or return-of-light in the diamond trade. To many jewelers, it’s the most important quality in a diamond, and is what people react to when they exclaim over a diamond.
Diamonds also have a quality called scintillation. Scintillation refers to how light disperses from the stone when it’s moved. While brilliance is the quality of dispersed light when the diamond is in a stationary position, scintillation is observed when the diamond moves in the light. They’re closely related qualities, while fire is a different attribute.
The way a diamond is cut will determine how much fire or brilliance it has, and often one may have to make a trade-off for one quality or another. Which way is the best way to go? For the most part, most diamonds are cut more for brilliance and scintillation rather than for fire. When shopping for a diamond remember that it’s in investment, yes. But what really matters is whether you love it. Qualities like brilliance vs. fire really do pale in comparison to that one critical element!

A Hand to Guide Me $1.49 In his debut as an author, Denzel Washington shares his personal story of the mentors who helped guide his life–more than 70 of America’s leading personalities in theater, sports, business, and politics who in turn tell their life-changing stories of mentorship.From the Publisher:Sometimes all it takes is one person to make a lasting difference in one’s life. That’s how it was for Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington, who will inspire readers with his personal story about the man at the Mount Vernon Boys Club, who set him on the path to purpose in his new book A Hand to Guide Me. Mr. Washington then brings together moving first-person accounts from other successful luminaries who describe the devoted mentors who helped them find their shine when they were young diamonds in the rough -including notables such as Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Alex Rodriguez, Jimmy Carter, Whoopi Goldberg, Jackie Joyner Kersee, John Singleton, Bonnie Raitt, Gloria Steinem, Hank Aaron, Tara Lipinski, John Mellencamp, Yogi Berra, Walter Anderson, Bob Woodward, Toni Morrison, and Anna Kournikova, among others. We’re all destined to leave some kind of mark. I really believe that, writes Mr. Washington. But I also believe we miss our marks from time to time, and without a certain push in the right direction we might never find the path we were meant to follow. This book is about that certain push, that helping hand we’ve all had to reach for in order to get where we’re going. Poignant, heartwarming, and powerful, the stories in A Hand to Guide Me follow the coaches, parents, barbers, teachers, and counselors whose insights and support nurtured youngsters and friends out of the constraints of rough neighborhoods, disability, poverty, and insecurity. Actor Daryl Chill Mitchell, paralyzed from the waist down in a tragic motorcycle accident, offers a tribute to the late Christopher Reeve, who encouraged him to go forward. Chick Big |
