Shapes and Cut Qualities

 

Oh this page is going to be FUN!!!  Haha... I just love new toys! Want to compare an Assher cut with a Princess?  Want to compare a Round Brilliant with a Emerald cut?  How about one of our diamonds for sale against what you'll typically find in the mall? 

 

We recently picked up the technologies to be able to scan in diamonds ... generate 3d models of the actual stones analyzed and show you in "virtual reality" what that diamond will look like in various light conditions!  So fricken cool!

 

First you'll need to download the free Gem Advisor software which was developed by the Russian mathematicians at Moscow State University.  Here is the link to get that ... http://www.cutstudy.com/octonus/english/gemreader/index.htm.  

 

Important Note: Before opening any of the files on this page you need to download and install the software & OPEN THE PROGRAM first. Once you do this Windows will automatically make the proper file associations and you'll be able to open the files here and have 2 or as many as you like (as many as your computer can handle) side by side for a "virtual comparison".  If you are having trouble opening a file try downloading it and saving it on your computer then opening it.

 

When you're viewing files with the Gem Advisor try loading the diamond into "disco lighting" then hit the green play button to rock them before your eyes.

Round brilliant cut

An AGS "3" due to a 62% table. A "good" mall type stone.

Round brilliant cut

TIC H&A. Triple VH on the B'scope. One of our finest.

Round brilliant cut

H&A diamond with High/Very High/High on B'scope. Another beauty.

Round brilliant cut

TIC NON-H&A  This diamond is a good example to show how much lower girdles can affect diamond appearance in an ideal cut. These lower girdles are cut short around 70%.

Round brilliant cut

Here's another like the stone above. This diamond has similar proportions to the triple VH except for one thing ... the lower girdles are shorter which affect the light return and appearance.

Round brilliant cut

Here is a certain brand that cuts their H&A's with a shorter star/lower girdle combo. The 2nd stone above is of the longer star/lower girdle combo which makes for an interesting comparison.  Both are beautiful.

The Eighternity Diamond

A  brand new 2nd generation super ideal cut.  Extreme optics. :)

The Solasfera Diamond

Brand spanking new 2nd gen super ideal. To say this diamond is tweaked would be an understatement.

Pear brilliant cut

Not so good ;-)

Pear brilliant cut

Much better

Old European Cut

check out the large culet

Princess cut

Outstanding stone with superior optics.

Princess cut

Poopoo. Typical stone on the market. For more details on this stone click here.

Princess cut

This stone is interesting being an AGA 1a.  Compare this with the first princess which is also a 1a.  Two beauts with slightly different personalities.

Jubilee Cut

Perhaps the *most* brilliant modified square on the market.

Ideal Square H&A

A shape that has been labeled as "cushion" due to rounded corners yet very square. Along with the Jubilee displays superior optics to anything square on the market.

Lucere

A beautiful Lucere. Lucere's are very similar to Lucida's.

Regent

With H&A rounds these are the most brilliant/fiery fancies.

Asscher

 

Flanders

Another special beauty that was worthy of our dollar. :)

Queen of Hearts

From the cutters of the Regent come another spectacular modified square.

HoF Dream

For those wanting to compare our wares with the famous "Dream".
