Canadian Diamonds: A Cut Above the Rest

Polar Bear Diamonds are cut to exacting standards to allow maximun light refraction and reflection.

When a diamond is cut too deep light leaks out the bottom, brilliance is lost, and the centre of the diamond appears dark.

When a diamond is cut too shallow light leaks out the bottom brilliance is lost and the centre of the diamond appears watery, glassy and dark.

For the most dramatic fire and brilliance, Canadian Polar Bear Diamonds are created using the optimum proportions of table size, crown height, girdle thickness and pavilion depth.

Canadian Fine Cut
Light entering a Canadian Fine Cut diamond reflects internally from facet to facet and is reflected back through the top only creating more brilliance sparkle and beauty.

Canadian Ideal Cut
The precise proportions of the Canadian Ideal Cut is the standard by which all other diamonds are measured. This Ideal Cut diamond displays maximum brilliance and scintillation.

Colour
Diamonds come in many colours, however Polar Bear Diamonds appear colorless which allows light to pass through reflecting a rainbow of colours. Most diamonds look colorless but in fact can vary by shade.

Inclusions
Inclusions, or tiny identifying marks found within a diamond interfere with the diamonds brilliance and fire. The fewer and smaller the inclusions the more brilliant and more valuable the stone.

These inclusions mark traces of foreign minerals locked into the diamond. Polar Bear Diamonds represents the top selection in the world.
