Okay ... I think everybody should just hold up one second before you begin bashing the dream and it's price.
YES I said even it's price and let me explain.
Now listen carefully to what I'm about to say. I have nothing to gain or profit by promoting the dream since I do not sell it.
Now I respect everyone's opinion including golfer's, Kirk, etc. BUT ...
There are many who would be quick to give opinions based on limited or no information concerning the product but let me tell you first hand that of all the fancy shapes I've seen, especially among the square modified brilliant cuts there were NONE that could be compared to the Dream in sheer brilliancy and fire except for the Regent and they differ slightly in their cut. I had the opportunity of sitting down with an old friend who works with HoF at the last Vegas show (Martin DeWitt who is also in the HoF video that is given out) and he let me view dream diamonds under the LightScope. In a word, I was blown away. This is a diamond that commands it's own price as it's in a league of it's own. There is nothing on the market you can compare it to.
The only 2 other diamonds that can even hold a flame to it is Regents and certain type H&A's. If you want to learn more about H&A's check out my link at the bottom and read the chapters on cut.
Now it is no secret that HoF charges a premium for their brand but in the dream they have a product that is in a class all it's own. The distributor may or may not have done a great job in presenting the product but if it was anything like the stones I've seen I WOULD certainly NOT rule it out.
I've seen square modified brilliants that perform comparable to the dream but none exactly like it. My best advice to you would be (for your own education and informed decision) is see what else you can find that you think would be comparable (I'm talking high quality stuff, cut wise) and make the comparison for yourself. Whatever speaks to you most ... that you should purchase. I have access to many square modified brilliant cut brands but the dream is one diamond I would love to carry.
Peace,
