Question: What are your opinions on the dream diamond by hearts on fire? What is the difference between that and a square cut radiant? I would apprecaite any information. Thanks

I haven''t seen the dream diamond, so I can''t give you an opinion on it. I can tell you that it will look completely different from a square cut radiant. The dream is a square hearts and arrows diamond, so it will the exhibit the same patterns as a round hearts and arrows diamond. A radiant doesn''t have this organized pattern, and in most cases is said to look like crushed ice.

coda: Actually the Dream only has hearts no arrows. I think it is comparable to the Queen of Hearts (that GOG used to carry I''m not sure if those are cut anymore).

Justine: The Dream is a very sparkly diamond but not worth the premium IMHO. I have a Jubilee and paid significantly less for it plus it has a true H&A symmetry. Square cut radiants are of a completely different breed. Some don''t like radiants because of the ''crushed ice'' look. I personally can appreciate a radiant. My advice is for you to go to a store (whether it be a mall store or whereever) that carries both HOF and radiants. Another cut that you may be interested in is the Square H&A. All the cuts I''ve listed can be found at www.goodoldgold.com which also has great tutorials.
