Not Only Plain White Diamonds Anymore: the Contemporary Eternity Ring
Cushion The cushion cut is an antique-style diamond cut that has recently come back into fashion. It is a cross between an Old Mine Cut (a deep cut with a high crown and large facets that was common in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries), and a modern oval cut. The cushion shaped diamond is squarish with rounded corners and sides.
The Finest Diamond: A diamond that flashed rainbow colors was best: “Even if it has blunt points, if it has a speck, a crack, the diamond that has the reflection of the rainbow procures wealth, grain and sons. The king who carries, so it is said, a beautiful diamond with glittering flashes has a force that triumphs over all other powers and becomes master of all neighboring lands.” Rainbow dispersive color from a diamond octahedron takes overall precedence and the finest colorless diamonds, transparent octahedra with rainbow reflections, are reserved for kings.
Radiant cut This is a modified or combination cut – a brilliant cut square or rectangle shaped diamond with clipped-off corners like the emerald cut. It melds the elegance of the emerald cut diamond with the brilliance and sparkle of the round diamond. Length to width ratio A radiant cut with a length to width ratio of less than or equal to 1.05:1 will appear square to the observer. While a squarer radiant-cut diamond is the preference of many, some people prefer a slightly rectangular diamond.
There was a powerful king of the Danavas named Bala, endowed with great strength and who proved his valor by conquering the three worlds. In more than one battle, Divaspati was vanquished by him, and the wife of Heros, Sachi, was not able to raise her head with pride. The gods could not defeat this indomitable warrior in open combat; so they requested him, in the guise of a favor, to become the victim of their sacrificial ritual (yagna).
Trilliant cut This is a brilliant-cut triangle diamond – a wedge shape with fiery brilliance. It can be a traditional triangular shape with pointed corners, or a more rounded triangular shape. Trilliants (also called Trillions) are often used as diamond accents in three stone rings and other jewelry settings, but may also be chosen to be set as solitaire diamonds. An equilateral triangle is prefered in a trilliant diamond. Variance in the ratio of length to width should not deviate considerably.
