German term

das Feuer zur Geltung zu bringen

German to English Marketing Mining & Minerals / Gems business presentation of jewellery shop
Farbige Diamanten werden übrigens auch „fancy diamonds“ genannt – und es gibt sie in vielen hübschen Farben, wie Kanariengelb, Braun, Blau, Grün, Rot, Pink und Rosa. Natürlich auch im klassischen Schliff eines Diamanten, dem Brillantschliff. Allerdings entscheidet vor allem die Struktur des Steins über seine ideale Form. Baguette- oder Tropfenschliff *bringen das „Feuer“größerer Steine manchmal noch viel besser zur Geltung*.

I guess that "das Feuer zur Geltung zu bringen" means "to bring out the fire" (in a gemstone). So am I right in thinking that big diamonds are more radiant if they have a baguette cut and or a drop cut? i.e. these 2 types of diamond cuts (the baguette and the drop one) "bring out the fire" in the bigger stones better than other types of diamond cuts?

Thanks a lot in advance for your expert opinion!

Seems to be a contradiction there Hi Anna,
I'm certainly no gemstone expert, but from my quick reading of the diamond cut article in Wikpedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cut> I gleaned that the baguette cut 'accentuates a diamond's luster, whiteness, and clarity but downplays its fire.' After looking at the following links: http://tinyurl.com/374oxgz and http://tinyurl.com/395qtww , I realised that probably your text really does require the expert advice of a jeweller, for example, who might be able to explain why certain large stones are more fiery when baguette-cut. All I learned there was that baguette-cut diamonds need to be very clear, with no flaws. Still, it's a bit confusing ... clarity is not the same as scintillation (fire)? No problem with the pear or teardrop cut diamond, though, as this cut does seem to create more fire.

Sorry, it should be "fiery", not "firey".
