A lot of fuss is made about "Ideal Cut" and in the best cases, with good reason.

However in some cases, what we see is stones cut 62% and deeper, with small (56-57%) tables. Some are okay.

The truth is, we lost something.

This is a pair of the stones we estimate were cut in the '60's.

At the time the belief was that a larger table produced a brighter and showier diamond. I estimate one of these tables at 62, the other at 60%.

They are perfect for earrings. Tons of large bright flashes.

They are colorless- and totally clean.

We've set them in claw prongs 14kt pink gold martini settings. They look amazing in the settings.
