Russian Cut, GIA Cert, Princess

[chuckgga]

Russian cut -
H, VS1, Princess, 1.498, Gia Certed stone -
Can anyone shed any light on Russian cut?
Is this worth more than a non-russian cut?
Is it considered a better than average cut?
I will have GIA paperwork tomorrow with specs...
I'm simply looking for general information.

Chuck, "Russian Cut" is a term means (in general) a very fine make. Although properly used only for stones which have been cut in Russia, it is often generically used in the trade for non-Russian stones which have fine makes.

Either way, if the term is a proper one for your stone, it should be stunning.
