About 1920 this rectangular grinding originated in France. The term describes in the real sense of the word exactly its optical impression: rod or small rod. An exact rectangle with four 90\u00b0 angles is sharpened from-out of the gemstone.<\/p><p>The processing of a stone using the Baguette grinding is difficult and needs the highest skills. The great danger for the cutter is that the gemstone splinters, because a considerable part of the material must be polished.

It is the result of feverish efforts of the stonecutter, (this term is another example of the standardization!) to increase the maximum brilliance of a diamond. The gloss and the glitter in the stone is the result of breaking the incident light.<\/p><p>The more and the more detailed the cuts are executed more impressive is the result. This is pure mathematics, and therefore the diamond- reference-cut is calculated very precisely and is for every jewellery manufacturer a mandatory requirement. The diamond is made from top to bottom as follows. The crown, which closes the top with a flat panel, forms the top. It follows the widest part of the diamond, the girdle. The pointed downwardly concludes with the pavilion. The scheme of the various facets is set. Overall a brilliant gets 58 facet cuts.<\/p><p>The scientific analysis of the optical effect and the colour play of brilliants resulted in the 1919 created \u2018Tolkowsky-brilliant\u2019. This reference is in the US today valid. In Germany there was a new calculation 1939 in \u2018Praxis Eppler\u2019, the so called \u2018fine cut\u2019. In Scandinavia on the other hand, they calculated 1969 the \u2018Scandinavian Standard-Brilliant\u2019. Nevertheless, it is still the Tolkowsky brilliant which is regarded as the standard today worldwide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f341b4e e-con-full product-card e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f341b4e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40f4e43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"40f4e43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"352\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cabochon_cut.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-165021\" alt=\"Cabochon cut\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cabochon_cut.webp 352w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cabochon_cut-64x24.webp 64w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cabochon_cut-300x111.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3bfce4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a3bfce4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cabochon Cut<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b81878 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b81878\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The worldwide used French term Cabochon stands for a smooth cut gemstone. The alternative terms \u2018straight cut\u2019 and \u2018mugel cut\u2019 are also common. Not only by the technology a cabochon cut stand apart from the facets cuts. Primarily for the viewer is the uniquely beautiful play of colour and the iridescence effects that stand out. Completely different light reflections are created as with facets.<\/p><p>Depending which gem got the smooth cut, different iridescent effects can be admired. For this, the crystal structure of the gemstone is responsible respectively. For example a blue white glow migrates over Moonstone, when you move the moonstone cabochon. This baffling phenomenon is called adularescence. That as the cat\u2019s eye effect known phenomenon Chatoyance in turn, is the fascinating shimmer, a smooth cut sapphire or a tiger-eye produces.<\/p><p>Thus, the perfectly executed cabochon cut is in or on many antique jewellery pieces a real eye-catcher. It is not uncommon the most impressive way to put a jewel in scene. Because the colour stone, which can have an effect like this, develops its own unique sophistication through the refractions of light.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98f7f92 e-con-full product-card e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"98f7f92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9cee0ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9cee0ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-178314\" alt=\"pampel schliff\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled.png 1707w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-1024x1536.png 1024w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-1366x2048.png 1366w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-1200x1800.png 1200w, https:\/\/antique-jewellery.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pampel_schliff-scaled-64x96.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aaed0d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aaed0d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pampel Cut<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16da560 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16da560\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The pampel cut corresponds in its shaping to an elongated drop.

He belongs to the so-called diamond cuts and is classified in the category of the old cuts. The diamonds get a flat bottom and to the top of the stone triangular cut facets. The thus obtained optical impression is similar to a rose petal. To increase the luminosity and the fire, rose cut diamonds were often placed on a reflective foil.<\/p><p>This method is very special and had its most common use in Antwerp, in the province Brabant and near the French border, in Charleroi. The rose cut is rarely cut today. In the heyday of this Dutch-Belgian cut emerged fantastic jewellery.

The cutter must carefully choose this cut, because it reveals even the smallest defects in the stones.<\/p><p>Stones of perfect purity though, unfold in the emerald cut a suggestive charm. The long facets look very elegant and are, when executed by a master, polished in the finest. The emerald cut is usually made of 57 facets. But this can also vary. First mention under its name emerald cut we find in Art d\u00e9co. However, it is demonstrated, that this cut was already carried out earlier.
