I’m searching for one. Please help me find a picture of this: 1 carat princess cut diamond with a very thin yellow gold band. Thank you very much!
A ring… that is
“Lorenzo” Thank you but that’s not a princess cut. A princess cut is a square diamond. Plus, I’d like to find a picture of a solitare diamond. I appreciate the effort though!
“cornelius” I did on “google images”, but it didn’t produce the results that I wanted. So now, I have to search each page one-by-one. I just wanted to know if I could get some help, that’s all. I’m looking too.
“Mizzy” Beautiful! Thank you so much!
“carlosp” Also a good picture. Thank you!
“Wondering” That’s exactly the band-type that I want. Thank you!

Alexa asked:


What is the name of a diamond cut that is similar to a marquis, but instead of points on the top and bottom, it’s flat? I can’t find it anywhere on the internet and I’m trying to figure out what type of cut the stone i have is.
Picture a marquis, but the points on top and bottom are slightly flattened. The middle section is a little wider and slightly pointed. Maybe this is just an unusual fancy cut?

David V asked:


I am having a setting designed for a cushion cut diamond which is slightly rectangular (1 edge longer than the other)

When viewed from the top, what do you think the best orientation is? The long edge parallel to the shank of the ring or perpendicular to it?

PBS asked:

The basic techniques of diamond cutting haven’t changed since the 16th Century. From NATURE’s “Diamonds” airing Sunday, September 30th at 8 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings).

The program examines the oldest, hardest natural substance in the world ­- diamonds — from their beginnings in the core of the earth, through mining and acquisition, to the history of the most famous of these extraordinary gems. Actress Stockard Channing narrates the program.
