This is an antique style Cushion Brilliant Diamond. I have so much respect for the cutter of this stone. Unlike the stones cut to achieve a perfectly uniform look, this cutter prioritizes beauty.
In this case, he started with a very shallow piece of rough diamond. He was able to envision the beautiful stone you see here within that rough. The crown and girdle and positioned, and proportioned to alleviate potential pitfalls of shallow stones. You can get sparkle coming back to your eye at a wide range of viewing angles.
As opposed to a more defined pattern typical of Cushion Brilliant diamonds, this one behaves more like a cushion modified in that the flashes are smaller - and more plentiful than a "chunky" cushion. In return for this, you get a stone looks noticeably larger than a typical Cushion brilliant. People will mistake it for a carat and a half. Perfectly eye clean SI2. |
