awesome, Thanks Paul.

 

[Regular Guy]

Very well, clearly, and concisely done. And not the least bit wierd to me.

Many thanks,

finally, princess cuts getting some attention! i would *love* to see how these stones compare to even the best of what's on the market now.

thanks paul, for taking the time to write this article, it was very interesting.

Thanks Paul! You are providing a rare opportunity for the general public to gain some insight into just what artistry and toil goes into providing a top quality product! Bring ''em on!

Great article Paul. Clear and informative. Are there pictures of these princesses anywhere?

 

[MaybeDayze]

And no photos of these fabulous new princesses?

 

[Paul-Antwerp]

Hi all,

Give me some time for pics. Maybe, my dealers will take care of that, as soon as they receive the stones.

Leonid also asked me for more info like detailed Diamcalc-files and so on, but I prefer to keep those to myself at this point in time. Please forgive me, but I have the impression that we are ahead of the field in cutting these, and it would be foolish to give away all our experience.

Live long,

Great article Paul. It''s interesting that these new princesses will have such improved light return. Now, of course, you have just whetted our appetite for pictures of these stones!

Is it correct to say that the light performance grading all ray-tracing and no direct light measurement? Interesting.

Yes, your dealers would love to do this, if YOU WOULD JUST SEND US SOME STONES!

Belle, if you already love princess cuts, you won''t resist if you see them.
I was very impressed to see great fire and scintillation, something I never saw before.

There are a few HRD graded princess cuts in the database here.... could it be, by any chance

... that those are the new AGS cherries (or at least by the same hand) ?

No, Valeria, these are not.

We are laser-inscribing the stones today (those that do not need a repair), then arranging the Elmyr-data (pictures, measurements).

By the end of this week, they will go to our dealers. And at the end of next week, some more princess-cuts will return from AGS.

As for the report, we have all the data of the report, but AGS will only print the reports after May 1st.

Live long,

This is a really exciting time!
