an new....cut

[fogdancer]

We love to keep track of new diamond cuts but this one is truly interesting. The Dubai Cut which was revealed last week features 99 facets which are inspired by the 99 names of Allah. The diamond will be produced by the Russian polisher Kristall Corporation and the first Dubai Cut diamond, laser inscribed number 0001 was shown to General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister. Kristall will produce 1800 Dubai Cut stones each year. Each one is Russian-mined and will be laser-inscribed with a serial number.

It looks very "crushed-ice" make to me.

I''m not drooling, but hey, something for everyone

Not seeing how its much different from an elongated cut cornered princess or radiant of some sort. That type of sparkle isn''t doing so well in the big Pscope cut poll .... good luck w/that lame-o cut!

it is difficult to tell much about it from such a small/low quality picture.

it seems like an exciting time in the diamond industry at the moment with all the new cuts being designed and produced. it will be interesting to see which stand the test of time.
