This is a totally unscientific survey I'm conducting for my own curiosity. What I'm asking for is not general jewelry brands like Zales, Tiffany, etc., but brands that refer specifically to a diamond cut or diamond product. Not long ago, someone in the diamond trade conducted a scientific poll, and most of the respondents couldn't name a single one. My guess is we'll do a bit better here. After you answer the poll, post the brands you can think of if you wish.

ACA SuperbCert EightStar Lazare Kaplan can't believe I missed HOF...we looked at them! So that's kind of like 1/2 a point. Also REGENT..HELLO..I own one! What is interesting here is that I see a pattern in the ones that are remembered by people...so far anyway. There are about 4-5 that have been repeatedly named by all. And those were the 5/6 that popped into my head at the git-go. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

There has been a lot of "the emperor has no clothes" talk in the trade about diamond branding recently. From the results here (a sample of consumers who care about diamonds vs. the general public) it looks as if there may be something to the branding trend after all.

I thought it was a cut. I seem to have a fuzzy recollection reading something on it before. Has anyone ever heard of a diamond with 100 facets? It was called "cen" something...I saw it in an upscale magazine at the Hilton over the holidays...darn, can't remember what it was called...anyone?
