Ran across this today on the DB website (www.debeers.com). I really like the channel set solitaire..
Of course. The center stone looks huge. Next image is of the same rings. The W shaped one is their 'signature'.
Interesting...surfing around their site they have some tutorials, one on cut. They will let you roll over table and depth %'s so that they can show you what it looks like on a stone (just a drawing) and also says things like 'well-cut' and 'acceptable'. According to DB a 63% depth is a well-cut stone and a 64% table is acceptable. But anything over 64% table is unacceptable.
No wonder we get so many maul shell-shocked buyers in here with horribly cut deep stones! I was somewhat appalled to see that DB considers something with 63% depth to be well-cut and 64% table acceptable. Their tutorial talks nothing of putting those two pieces together...so in essence you could have a 64% table and 63% depth stone and it'd be acceptably well-cut!
Way to go DB.
