Hi, I came across this article about fancy shapes and saw a picture of the Asprey and CORONA Cuts.  Does anyone have any experience/information on how the brillance, spread compares to a Jubilee?

I was really looking to get a Jubilee, but as they are out of production now, looking for alternatives.  I've looked at the Sq H&A already.  Thanks!

PS - found another one that looks interesting.. the WONDERCUT

I haven't been able to find much information about the wondercut.  Here's the official website if you are interested. 

http://www.lilidiamond.com.hk/Branded-diamond-cuts.asp

Square emerald modified princess-cut
8 sided octagon
Multi-faceted square shape
61 facets
Table range: 68-70%
Depth range 66-69%

Appears that the company has offices in Isreal, HK and NY... and has more presence in Asia.  Fortunately, I'm from NY so I'm planning on making a trip to view the stones and cuts that they offer :)

Has anyone seen this cut in person before?

The first two have a lot of extinction and dead space from the photos.  The third looks very similar to the Flanders cut which you might also want to consider.

Whiteflash has a new princess-y, cut cornered squarish cut called "X-Factor" that reminds me of the "Wondercut".

Might wanna add that one to the list too! They seem well-priced, but I think they only have stones around 1 ct. Not sure what size you're looking for ...

I love the external shape of the asprey!
