SHAIRU GEMS, 602-603, PRASAD CHAMBERS, OPERA HOUSE, MUMBAI 400 004. The following specifications particularly describes the nature of this invention / process and the manner in which it is to be performed. DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION The following specification particularly describes the nature of This invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:- 1. The present invention relates to a process for producing a diamond having enhanced brilliance. 2. Conventionally the rough diamond is cut with a view to increase the reflection and refraction of light through the cut faces of the diamond thereby enhancing its brilliance. The brilliance of the diamond produced by the process according to the present invention is far enhanced as compared to the brilliance of the conventionally cut diamond. 3. The process for producing a diamond having enhanced brilliance, herein designated as DIVINE 9, according to the present invention, comprises the following steps : I. A rough diamond is selected having the desired purity, the colour and the model which has a better weight retention. II. A rough structure of DIVINE is prepared in order to differentiate between the TABLE and CULET of the diamond and then the ROUGH TABLE of the diamond is polished. III. The polished diamond is then given the desired shape of DIVINE with the help of LASER SHAPING MACHINE wherein the shape of DEVINE 9 is already saved/stored. A diamond with 9 equal sides is thus obtained. IV. The FINAL TABLE of DIVINE 9 is polished to get the CROWN HEIGHT which ranges between 13 % to 17 % of total height. Thereafter 9 Bezel facets are polished on the Crown side at degree ranging between 33* - 36*. V. Each polished Bezel facet is then again divided in two parts by polishing a new facet on each Bezel at degree of 29* - 32*, thus forming upper Bezel facets and lower Bezel facets. VI. The Rib of the upper Bezel facets are then polished to give 9 star facets of DIVINE 9 which are all equal in size and the degree for the 9 star facets ranges between 20* - 22*. VII. Two upper Girdle halves are polished on either side of each lower Bezel facet meeting at the center of the facet at a degree of 35* - 40* and height of the halves is kept between 50 % to 60 % of the crown height. VIII. On the pavilion side of the diamond, all 9 facets are polished exactly below the Girdle facets aligning the lower Bezel facet & upper Girdle halves on crown side at a degree of 40.5* - 42*. IX. Each Rib of the 9 Pavilion halves which were polished earlier is again polished to give another 9 Pavilion halves which are also of the same degree i.e. 40.5* - 42*. X. Out of the 18 ribs of the Pavilion halves, 9 ribs bearing even nos. i.e. 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 are polished at a degree of 40* - 41* to give 9 Pavilion Mains of equal size 73 & degree which are polished from culet side and will end with a point on the girdle side exactly below the point of lower Bezel facets and rib no. 17 is also polished in the same way to give 10th Pavilion Main. 2 XI. The 8 ribs of Pavilion halves bearing odd nos. 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 and 17 are polished at a degree of 39.5* - 40.5* to give 8 lower Pavilion facets and these facets are polished upto 45 % - 55 % of the Pavilion height. XII. On either side of the ribs bearing odd nos. lower girdle halves are polished at a degree of 41.5* - 43*, these facets are polished from the girdle side and end at the point of lower Pavilion facets thus giving a diamond having 99 equal sides and 108 facets. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION. 1. A rough diamond is selected having the desired purity, colour and the model which has a better weight retention. Better weight retention can be analyzed with the help of the measuring tools such as SARIN, OGI and the like. Once the measurements are done of the rough diamond, decision is made whether the rough diamond is appropriate for designing DIVINE 9. Accordingly TABLE LASER MARKING and GIRDLE LASER MARKING and CULET LASER MARKING from Pavilion side is done with the help of SARIN LASER MARKERS or any other measuring machine which has laser marking. 2. A rough structure of DIVINE 9 is prepared in order to differentiate between the TABLE and CULET of the diamond. Then the rough table of the diamond according to Table Laser Marking which was done in step 1 is polished as shown in figure [C - D]. 3. After the rough table is polished, the diamond is ready for shaping which is done with the help of LASER SHAPING MACHINE wherein the shape of DDIVINE 9Dis already saved/stored. The rough diamond is centered on the Laser shaping machine according to the plan provided by Measuring machine. After the diamond is rightly centered, 3 shaping of the DIVINE 9 is executed to give a diamond with 9 equal sides as shown in figure [E - F], 4. This 9 sides is the unique feature of DIVINE 9 as no other existing cuts have 9 equal sides. 9 represents the lucky number in India and it also has a great religious importance. This shape is the most important feature of DIVINE 9. 5. After the Laser shapingprocess is over, the Final Table of DIVINE 9 is polished to get the Crown height which ranges between 13 % to 17 % of total height. Thereafter 9 Bezel facets are polished on the Crown side at degree which ranges between 33* - 36* as shown in figure [G - H]. 6. After the 9 Bezel facets are polished, each facet is again divided in two parts by polishing a new facet on each Bezel at degree of 29* - 32* which are termed as Upper Bezel facets and Lower Bezel facets as shown in figure [I - J]. 7. After polishing 9 Upper Bezel facets, the 'Rib' of the Upper Bezel facets are polished to give 9 Star facets of DIVINE 9 which are all equal in size as shown in figure [K -L] and the degree of the9 Star facets ranges between 20* -22*. 8. Now two Upper Girdle halves are polished on either side of each Lower Bezel facet meeting at the center of the facet at a degree of 35* - 40* and height of the halves is kept between 50 % to 60 % of the crown height as shown in figure [M - N]. 9. On Pavilion side of the diamond, firstly 9 facets are polished exactly below the Girdle facets aligning the Lower Bezel facet & Upper Girdle halves on crown side at a degree of 40.5* - 42* to give 9 Pavilion halves. 10. Thereafter each Rib of the 9 pavilion halves which were polished in earlier stage is again polished to give another 9 pavilion halves which are also of the same degree i.e. 40.5* 4 - 42*. Now the diamond is ready with 18 pavilion halves which are of equal size & equal degree. In this process the culet is kept open. Out of 18 Ribs of pavilion halves, 9 Ribs having odd nos. align with the Point of the shape while other 9 Ribs having even nos. are in 73 center of each side which align with lower Bezel as shown in figure [P]. 11. Now out of 18 ribs of pavilion halves, 9 ribs bearing even nos. i.e. 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 are polished at a degree of 40*- 41* which gives 9 Pavilion Mains pf equal size and degree. These facets are polished from culet side and end with a point on the girdle side exactly below the point of lower Bezel facets. Now rib no. 17 is also polished in the same way to give a 10th Pavilion Main as shown in figure [R]. So we have facets 16,17,18 i.e. three pavilion mains together which are adjoining each other. 12.This is again a unique feature of DIVINE 9. 13. Now the eight remaining ribs of pavilion halves having odd nos. i.e. 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17 are polished at a degree of 39.5* - 40.5* to give 8 lower pavilion facets as shown in figure [S - T]. 14.These facets are polished upto 45 % - 55 % of the pavilion height. This forms the shape of beautiful pavilion with 10 big and 8 small petal shaped facets. 15. In the last stage the lower pavalion mains are polished upto 45 % - 55 % of pavilion height. On either side of the ribs nos. 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 lower Girdle haves are polished at a degree of 41.5* - 43*. These facets are polished starting from the girdle side and ending at the point of lower pavilion facets. This gives 16 Lower Girdle halves as shown in figure [U - V]. 16. Now the pavilion of DIVINE 9 is complete with 53 facets including a small culet which is kept between 0.02 % - 0.50 % of diameter of the diamond. 5 17. Traditionally Round Brilliant has 24 facets on bottom side while DIVINE 9 has 53 facets on bottom side. This unique design of number of facets, their placement and shape leads to enhanced reflection of light. 18. Due to the unique design of placement of upper Girdle halves and 73 power Girdle halves, the girdle which is formed is of unique shape as highlighted in figure [W]. The unique feature is that the girdle is thinner on the points and thicker on the center of each girdle facet which adds beauty to the unique shape of DIVINE 9. 19. The girdle thickness on the points is between 1 % to 3 % whereas the thickness in the center of girdle facets is between 3 % - 8 %. The shape of the girdle is aligning the lower Bezel facet of the crown and pavilion mains of the bottom. 20. The DIVINE 9 prepared has 9 equal sides and 108 facets as shown in figure [X]. 6 We Claim, 1.
