DiamCalc Help : Cut Parameters
OctoNus spread & AGS spread

OctoNus spread

Spread is a parameter that shows the difference between weight of a given diamond and weight of the standard diamond. The standard diamond has the same area as the given diamond but the standard diamond has Tolkowsky proportions with the medium girdle thickness. The spread parameter tells if your diamond looks more or less massive than it really is.

Tolkowsky proportions

Weight 1,00 ct
Diameter 6,47 mm
Sec.diameter 6,47 mm
Total depth 4,00 mm
Crown height (bzl) 16,2 %
Crown angle 34,5 °
Table diameter 53,0 %
Pavilion depth (mains)43,1 %
Pavilion angle (max)40,75 %
Culet pointed
Girdle (valley)Ex. Thin
Square deviation0,0 %
Star facets39,7 %
Lower facet depth82,0 %
Lower facet length80,5 %
Girdle (valley) 1,0 %
Girdle (bazel) 2,6 %
Girdle offcet0,0 %
Girdle offcet azimuth 0,0 %
Fish eye 10,31 %
Kozibe 6,11 %
Spread 0,00 ct (0 %)
AGS spread -0,1 %

The spread parameter also works with fancy shapes comparing them with round standard diamond.

AGS spread

AGS Spread (ct) = (D / 6.47)3 - C

AGS Spread (%) = (1 - C * (6.47 / D)3) * 100%

C - weight of diamond (ct)
D - diameter of diamond (mm)
6.47 - diameter in mm of diamond with weight 1 ct and Tolkowsky proportions
