The Ideal Cut Diamond
200 years ago a dynasty was born, the name that would change diamonds for ever. Since the 1800's Tolkowsky has been synonymous with the finest diamonds.In 1919 Marcel Tolkowsky invented the Ideal Cut diamond, the benchmark by which all other diamonds are measured to this day. In 1988 Gabi Tolkowsky, the worlds finest master diamond cutter cut two of the worlds largest diamonds, the De Beers Centenary and The Golden Jubilee - the largest diamond in the world. Now Tolkowsky diamonds are available exclusively at Ernest Jones.
Tolkowsky is renowned for crafting the modern ideal cut diamond. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, then light will escape and the diamond loses its brilliance, fire and sparkle. To prevent this, Marcel Tolkowsky set out to define the ideal proportion of diamond's cut to maximise brilliance and dispersion of light. The Tolkowsky Ideal Cut is a round brilliant cut diamond with 57 facets and offers excellent return of light.
Hearts & Arrows
The Hearts & Arrows optical effect represents the reflection of light inside a diamond. Every Tolkowsky diamond displays eight hearts and eight arrows associated with the most perfectly crafted Ideal Cut Diamonds, a mark of true quality.
Tolkowsky Diamond Certification
To further guarantee the quality of your jewellery, each Tolkowsky diamond is certified by a leading diamond grading laboratory and has a GemEx Light Performance Certificate as proof of the diamond's superior light performance.
