Is this anywhere close to what you have in mind ? There are two tiny colored diamonds of exactly this cut on list at ADIN, for example. The shape seems to be somewhat often used to take advatage of thin (?) fancy color rough. Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

One of them (called the "Noble cut") is a kite proper with probably brilliant style facets. Another ( called "Virtue cut") is a step cut kite. Then, if anything comes close to "step cut pear" this must be it. This stone (G-SI1, below 1ct) is being sold without a name, but it looks like one of the branded Royal Cuts (Link) to me. I did not see any of these shapes being produced with any consistency, but they appear every now and then so probably you will have some luck contacting a seller directly with a specific request.

There must be others of interest among the dozen names of fancy cuts listed here or at AM Diamonds. Hope this helps Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

I think what I saw was smothing like a combination of Noble cut (there are 5 or 6 sides, not 4 sides, though -- top and/or bottom edge are cut off straight) and Virtue cut. AM-Diamonds site is wonderful. I do not hear about them so often in this forum. What kind of reputation do they have, if you know?

I only know their site as a "database" of fancy cuts... there aren't too many. And the only kite diamonds readily on display around here reside in a pair of earrings at Diamonds by Lauren. Those diamonds are not branded - as far as I know the shop. Hope someone can help with AM Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
