General Purpose stones, although in some cases may be reset,
are referred to as "throw aways". These are lesser quality stones than
Select or Premium diamonds and therefore have less dressing time expectancy.
|
Select diamonds are better then General
Purpose stones but are less expensive
than Premium because they have fewer cutting edges. Select stones
approximate Premium quality, but have fewer points and therefore cannot
be reset as many times.
|
Premium diamonds are specially selected diamonds for
their shape and structure.
These diamonds, because of their many points, may be reset several times which
more than pays for the higher cost.
