Show 1999 The Kindest Cut technology and a surge of creativity are Cutting-edg- e giving diamonds more fire and brilliance today than in decades past. A bride can choose from a plethora of new diamond cuts to create an engagement ring that is as unique as she. Going beyond the traditional round or brilliant cut, which was created 75 years ago and typically has 58 facets, diamond designers are now shaping the gems to create the illusion of a bigger, more perfect stone. The Context Cut, for example, is based on the natural rough diamond dicrystal and has a agonal cross at the top. The Spirit Sun cut is a circular design featuring 16 upper facets radiating from a center point, balanced by 16 lower facets. A romantic Hearts on Fire" diamond, part of the ideal" cut genre, uses a round brilliant diamond with facet d star-shap- e angles that are calculated mathematically and placed in perfect symmetry. The table of the stone offers an eightpoint fire burst and the base provides a kaleidoscope of eight perfectly matched hearts. And the newest cut on the block, the Gabrielle diamond, is actually a cut triple-brillia- amplifying the existing 58 fac- ets to 105 facets.
