We would like to invite you to a presentation on a critical and often overlooked aspect of diamond performance: “Dead Zones vs Dynamic Contrast: Where Is the Boundary of High-Performance Cuts?”

In this session, we will explore:
-
What Dead Zones are and why they reduce visual performance
-
The difference between Dead Zones and High Contrast
-
Why traditional tools (such as ASET) cannot reliably distinguish between them
-
How Dead Zones can be identified, measured, and minimized
-
Practical applications for planning, polishing, and evaluation
The presentation includes real diamond examples, visual comparisons, and a new approach to analyzing performance based on observation conditions.
Manufacturers and planners
Polishers
Diamond evaluation professionals
We believe this approach provides a clearer and more practical understanding of what truly drives diamond appearance in real-world viewing conditions.
