Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of diamond processing, and in particular relates to a method for processing a teardrop-shaped diamond with a heart-shaped hollowing effect. Background Art
[0002] As a precious gemstone, the number and layout of diamond facets significantly influences its optical quality, aesthetics, and value. However, common diamond cut designs currently on the market have limitations in terms of light reflection and refraction, making it difficult to fully meet consumer demand for ultimate brilliance. Furthermore, the presence of inclusions is a key factor affecting the value of both natural and synthetic diamonds. Currently, common treatment methods for trace internal impurities include laser micropore ablation combined with acid etching. However, these methods inevitably leave white pore marks within the diamond, which must be clearly marked on the relevant certificate, significantly reducing the diamond's quality and market value. In the case of large-scale inclusions, the diamond is often treated as waste, greatly limiting its value.
[0003] To address these issues, the present invention proposes an innovative cutting design: by creating a unique combination of 89 facets—41 on the crown, 16 on the girdle, and 32 on the pavilion—this design significantly enhances the diamond's refractive index and overall optical performance. It also incorporates a unique heart-shaped hollow design at the center. This design imbues diamonds with new meaning while cleverly resolving the common problem of severe center inclusions, offering a fresh perspective on diamond design and processing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art and provide a method for processing a teardrop-shaped diamond with a heart-shaped hollowing effect.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for processing a teardrop-shaped diamond with a heart-shaped hollow effect, comprising the steps of: Select a nearly pear-shaped blank and cut it symmetrically; The blank is rounded to form a cylindrical waist, a hexagonal pyramid pavilion, and a trapezoidal crown, giving it a teardrop-shaped waist cross-section. The crown height accounts for 22% to 24% of the total height, the waist height accounts for 8% to 10%, and the pavilion height accounts for 66% to 70%. The pavilion angle near the tip of the teardrop-shaped blank is 35° to 35.5°, and the pavilion angle near the tail is 42.5° to 43°. Based on the longitudinal section of the waist, four first-class edges tending to the tip of the blank are polished at 53° to 53.5°, 41° to 41.7°, 24.3° to 24.6°, and 13° to 13.5°, respectively. Four second-class edges tending to the tail end of the blank are polished at 15° to 15.3°, 44.5° to 44.8°, 62° to 63°, and 80° to 80.5°. With the surface enclosed by the girdle edge as a reference, 16 girdle facets are polished at a first angle in a direction away from the crown. Based on the intersecting edges of adjacent girdle facets, the first to sixteenth small girdle facets are polished along the predetermined edges at angles of 35°-36°, 47°-48°, 59°-61°, and 55°-56°, respectively. Every four adjacent facets correspond to one angle range. With the center plane of the girdle as the reference, 16 main crown faces are polished at a base angle of 39° to 40°. Eight triangular star petals are polished at an angle of 33° to 35° at the intersection of two adjacent main crown faces and the table of the crown. 16 upper girdle faces are polished at an angle of 29° to 30° on the ridges adjacent to the main crown faces. Laser ablation with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a pulse energy of 10 to 15 J, combined with etching with a hydrofluoric acid solution with a concentration of 30% to 35%, was used to process a heart-shaped hollow structure with an aspect ratio of 1: (1±0.05) at the position where the central axis of the teardrop-shaped diamond coincided, obtaining the finished product.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the balance between the mechanical stability and optical performance of the water drop shape is achieved by precisely controlling the proportions of the crown (22% to 24%), waist (8% to 10%), and pavilion (66% to 70%). The differentiated pavilion angle design (tip 35° to 35.5° / tail 42.5° to 43°) enhances the streamlined shape of the water drop and optimizes the total internal reflection path. The four types of edge angle combinations (53° to 53.5°, etc., 15° to 43°, etc.) are used to create a more balanced and precise water drop shape. 15.3° and other second categories) form a complex refractive surface network to enhance the fire performance; the diamond center incorporates a unique heart-shaped hollow design, which cleverly solves the problem of serious central inclusions and provides a new approach to diamond design and processing. At the same time, the fusion of heart-shaped hollowing and teardrop outline, symmetrical facet design, and optimized optical path give the diamond both a unique shape and high-brightness fire; combining traditional teardrop cutting and hollowing technology, it fills the technical gap in the processing of heart-shaped hollow diamonds and meets high-end customization needs. Finally, laser + hydrofluoric acid composite processing technology achieves high-precision etching of the heart-shaped hollow, avoiding the microcracks caused by traditional mechanical processing.
[0007] Optionally, the total height ratio of the crown, girdle and pavilion is selected from one of the following combinations: Crown 22%, girdle 8%, pavilion 70%; Crown 23%, girdle 9%, pavilion 68%; The crown is 24%, the girdle is 10%, and the pavilion is 66%.
[0008] The above technical solution provides three sets of diamond segmentation ratios to cover the adaptation needs of rough diamonds of different carats, maximizing the weight of the finished product while maintaining structural strength. At the same time, the gradient change in the ratio can match the natural morphological differences of pear-shaped rough diamonds, thereby reducing the processing loss rate.
[0009] Optionally, the first type of edge can be polished at angles of 53.3°, 41.3°, 24.5°, and 13.3°. This precise angle setting ensures a more precise light path within the diamond, thereby maximizing the diamond's reflection and refraction effects, resulting in a more dazzling brilliance. Furthermore, precise angle control helps ensure harmony and symmetry between the various parts of the diamond, further enhancing its overall quality.
[0010] Optionally, the second-type edges can be polished at angles of 15°, 44.6°, 62°, and 80°. Precisely setting these angles can also optimize the path of light within the diamond, enhancing its optical properties. Precise angle control ensures the coordinated coordination between the second-type edges, the first-type edges, and other components, allowing the diamond to exhibit richer brilliance and fire at different angles, further enhancing its beauty and value.
[0011] Optionally, the four angle ranges of the small lower-girdle facets correspond to 34° to 36°, 46° to 48°, 59° to 61°, and 54.5° to 56.5°, respectively, and four facets are continuously machined within each angle range. By limiting the four angle ranges of the small lower-girdle facets and continuously machining four facets within each angle range, this design ensures a more uniform and regular distribution of the small lower-girdle facets across the diamond, thereby further refining the reflection and refraction paths of light and making the diamond's brilliance more delicate and rich. Furthermore, this angular range setting ensures coordination between the small lower-girdle facets and other parts, enhancing the diamond's overall optical performance and appearance.
[0012] Optionally, the base angle of the crown facet is 39.5°, the polishing angle of the star petals is 34°, and the polishing angle of the upper girdle is 29.5°. The 39.5° crown facet base angle combined with the 34° star petal angle creates an ideal table reflectivity of 57.4%. The 29.5° upper girdle angle causes secondary reflection of edge light, enhancing edge brilliance. These precise angle settings ensure more precise positioning and shape of the crown facets, star petals, and upper girdle facets on the diamond, thereby optimizing the reflection and refraction effects of the diamond crown, making the diamond appear brighter and more dazzling at the top. Furthermore, precise angle control helps ensure coordination and symmetry between the various parts of the diamond, further enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the diamond.
[0013] Optionally, the polished lengths of the first to sixteenth small lower haunch facets are H1, H2, H3 and H4, respectively, and the lengths of H1, H2, H3 and H4 increase in sequence. The incremental length design of H1 to H4 (gradient of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 mm) forms a dynamic light intensity distribution, simulating the light and shadow flow effect of real water droplets; the length difference is controlled within ±5% to balance mechanical strength and optical performance.
[0014] Optionally, the pavilion angle near the tip of the blank is 35° and the pavilion angle at the tail end is 43°.
[0015] Optionally, the bottom angle of the crown main surface is 39.5°, and the sixteen crown main surfaces are mirror-distributed with the central axis as the axis of symmetry.
[0016] By adopting this technical solution, the base angle of the crown facets was determined to be 39.5°, and the sixteen crown facets were mirrored about the central axis. This design ensures a more precise and symmetrical position and shape of the crown facets on the diamond, thereby optimizing the reflection and refraction effects of the diamond crown, making the top of the diamond appear brighter and more dazzling. Furthermore, the mirrored distribution design ensures coordination and consistency among the various components of the diamond crown, further enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the diamond.
[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: by arranging 41, 16 and 32 facets on the crown, girdle and pavilion respectively, a total of 89 facets, not only can the refractive effect and overall optical performance of the diamond be significantly improved, but also a unique heart-shaped hollow design is incorporated into the center of the diamond, which cleverly solves the serious problem of central inclusions and provides a new idea for the design and processing of diamonds; the fusion of heart-shaped hollowing and teardrop contours, symmetrical facet design, and optical path optimization give the diamond both a unique shape and high-brightness fire; combined with traditional teardrop cutting and hollowing technology, it fills the technical gap in the processing of heart-shaped hollow diamonds and meets high-end customization needs.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 27 As shown, a method for processing a teardrop-shaped diamond with a heart-shaped hollow effect includes the following steps: S1. Select a nearly pear-shaped blank and perform symmetrical cutting; S2. Scrape the blank to form a cylindrical waist, a hexagonal pyramid pavilion, and a trapezoidal crown, so that the waist cross-section is teardrop-shaped; wherein the crown height accounts for 22% to 24% of the total height, the waist height accounts for 8% to 10%, and the pavilion height accounts for 66% to 70%; the pavilion angle near the tip of the teardrop-shaped blank is 35° to 35.5°, and the pavilion angle near the tail end is 42.5° to 43°; S3. Based on the longitudinal section of the waist, grind out four first-class edges tending toward the tip of the blank at angles of 53° to 53.5°, 41° to 41.7°, 24.3° to 24.6°, and 13° to 13.5°, respectively. Then grind out four second-class edges tending toward the tail end of the blank at angles of 15° to 15.3°, 44.5° to 44.8°, 62° to 63°, and 80° to 80.5°. S4. Using the facets enclosed by the girdle as a reference, polish 16 girdle facets at the first angle away from the crown. S5. Based on the intersecting edges of adjacent lower haunch facets, polishing the first to sixteenth small lower haunch facets along the predetermined edges at angles of 35° to 36°, 47° to 48°, 59° to 61°, and 55° to 56°, respectively, wherein every four adjacent facets correspond to one angle range in sequence; S6. Using the center plane of the girdle as a reference, polish 16 crown main faces at a base angle of 39° to 40°. At an included angle of 33° to 35°, polish 8 triangular star petals at the intersection of two adjacent crown main faces and the table of the crown. Polish 16 upper girdle faces at an angle of 29° to 30° on the adjacent ridges of the crown main faces. S7. Laser ablation with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a pulse energy of 10 to 15 J, combined with etching with a hydrofluoric acid solution having a concentration of 30% to 35%, is used to process a heart-shaped hollow structure with an aspect ratio of 1: (1 ± 0.05) at the position where the central axis of the teardrop-shaped diamond coincides, to obtain a finished product.
[0023] In the above technical solution, the balance between the mechanical stability and optical performance of the water drop shape is achieved by precisely controlling the proportions of the crown (22% to 24%), waist (8% to 10%), and pavilion (66% to 70%). The differentiated pavilion angle design (tip 35° to 35.5° / tail 42.5° to 43°) enhances the streamlined shape of the water drop and optimizes the total internal reflection path. The four types of edge angle combinations (53° to 53.5°, etc., 15° to 43°, etc.) are used to create a more balanced and precise water drop shape. 15.3° and other second categories) form a complex refractive surface network to enhance the fire performance; the diamond center incorporates a unique heart-shaped hollow design, which cleverly solves the problem of serious central inclusions and provides a new approach to diamond design and processing. At the same time, the fusion of heart-shaped hollowing and teardrop outline, symmetrical facet design, and optimized optical path give the diamond both a unique shape and high-brightness fire; combining traditional teardrop cutting and hollowing technology, it fills the technical gap in the processing of heart-shaped hollow diamonds and meets high-end customization needs. Finally, laser + hydrofluoric acid composite processing technology achieves high-precision etching of the heart-shaped hollow, avoiding the microcracks caused by traditional mechanical processing.
[0024] In this embodiment, the total height ratio of the crown, girdle, and pavilion is selected from one of the following combinations: Crown 22%, girdle 8%, pavilion 70%; Crown 23%, girdle 9%, pavilion 68%; The crown is 24%, the girdle is 10%, and the pavilion is 66%.
[0025] The above technical solution provides three sets of diamond segmentation ratios to cover the adaptation needs of rough diamonds of different carats, maximizing the weight of the finished product while maintaining structural strength. At the same time, the gradient change in the ratio can match the natural morphological differences of pear-shaped rough diamonds, thereby reducing the processing loss rate.
[0026] In this embodiment, the first type of edge is polished at angles of 53.3°, 41.3°, 24.5°, and 13.3°. This precise angle setting ensures a more precise light path within the diamond, thereby maximizing the diamond's reflection and refraction, resulting in a more dazzling and brilliant light. Furthermore, precise angle control helps ensure harmony and symmetry between the various parts of the diamond, further enhancing its overall quality.
[0027] In this embodiment, the polishing angles for the second-type edges are 15°, 44.6°, 62°, and 80°. Precisely setting these angles also optimizes the light propagation path within the diamond, enhancing its optical properties. Precise angle control ensures the coordinated coordination between the second-type edges, the first-type edges, and other components, allowing the diamond to exhibit richer brilliance and fire at different angles, further enhancing its aesthetics and value.
[0028] In this embodiment, the four angle ranges of the small lower-girdle facets correspond to 34°-36°, 46°-48°, 59°-61°, and 54.5°-56.5°, respectively. Four facets are continuously machined within each angle range. By limiting the small lower-girdle facets to four angle ranges and continuously machining four facets within each angle range, this design ensures a more uniform and regular distribution of the small lower-girdle facets across the diamond, further refining the reflection and refraction paths of light and making the diamond's brilliance more delicate and rich. Furthermore, this angular range ensures coordination between the small lower-girdle facets and other components, enhancing the diamond's overall optical performance and appearance.
[0029] In this embodiment, the base angle of the crown facets is 39.5°, the polished angle of the star lobes is 34°, and the polished angle of the upper girdle is 29.5°. The 39.5° base angle of the crown facets combined with the 34° star lobes angle creates an ideal table reflectivity of 57.4%. The 29.5° upper girdle angle creates secondary reflections at the edges, enhancing edge brilliance. These precise angle settings ensure the precise positioning and shape of the crown facets, star lobes, and upper girdle facets on the diamond, optimizing the reflection and refraction effects of the diamond's crown, resulting in a brighter and more dazzling brilliance at the top. Furthermore, precise angle control helps ensure harmony and symmetry among the various components of the diamond, further enhancing its overall quality and aesthetics.
[0030] In this embodiment, the polished lengths of the first to sixteenth lower haunch facets are H1, H2, H3, and H4, respectively, with H1, H2, H3, and H4 increasing in length. The design of the increasing lengths of H1 to H4 (with a gradient of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 mm) creates a dynamic light intensity distribution, simulating the light and shadow flow effect of a real water droplet. The length difference is controlled within ±5%, balancing mechanical strength and optical performance.
[0031] In this embodiment, the pavilion angle near the tip of the blank is 35°, and the pavilion angle at the tail end is 43°.
[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom angle of the crown main surface is 39.5°, and the sixteen crown main surfaces are mirror-imaged with the central axis as the axis of symmetry.
[0033] By adopting this technical solution, the base angle of the crown facets was determined to be 39.5°, and the sixteen crown facets were mirrored about the central axis. This design ensures a more precise and symmetrical position and shape of the crown facets on the diamond, thereby optimizing the reflection and refraction effects of the diamond crown, making the top of the diamond appear brighter and more dazzling. Furthermore, the mirrored distribution design ensures coordination and consistency among the various components of the diamond crown, further enhancing the overall quality and aesthetics of the diamond.
