clueless rough rock Posts: 1 From:singapore Registered: Jul 2001	posted 07-11-2001 12:36 AM After weeks of shopping,I have narrowed my choice of diamonds to two : one is a Hearts-On-Fire , the other is a Brilliant Rose. Which of this has more sparkle and brilliance in it as i know hearts-on-fire has only 58 cuts while Brilliant Rose has 66 cuts?? Can anyone pls help me with this as my engagement is at the end of this month ... Thanks.

Just make sure the diamond doesn't have steep crown or deep pavilion. Try it with the Cut Adviser. This is what Garry wrote about Brilliant Rose: ------------- One of the companies founders showed me these stones. They are the same as brilliant cuts but for the extra facets on the bottom, and the same rules apply. Above 1/2ct I think there are advantages in scintillation, but it is a very personal thing, others would prefer the blocky appearance of 8*'s. ---------
