Diamonds

The diamonds on the dial have a diameter of approximately 1mm and a weight of about 0.005 carats per stone.

The diamonds are cut with an eight-cut. An eight-cut is a specific type of cut where diamonds, as the name suggests, are processed to create eight edges.

Diamonds with an eight-cut are also referred to as 8er. These are diamonds with a "simplified brilliant cut" in a rounded form. This cut is called "simplified" because a brilliant normally must have at least 56 facets. Eight-cut diamonds, on the other hand, have eight facets on the top and eight facets on the bottom, as well as a table, totaling 17 facets if you do not count the culet and girdle. They are excellent as accent stones. Due to their small size, they are often used in the production of watches on the dial. If the eight-cut diamond is carefully cut, it achieves a higher brilliance compared to a full-cut brilliant. This is because, in the size range of up to a maximum of 0.02 carats, larger facets have an optimal effect.
