Show me your crisscut diamonds

[diamondhoarder]

I am considering a Crisscut as my next purchase. There don't seem to be many Crisscut photos on PS so I would love to see photos of peoples Crisscuts in different lighting and from different angles.

Here is a stock photo of a an emerald shaped Crisscut:

Here's one I found on 1st Dibbs:

I Love this cut, Seen them in person, have you had a chance to seem them in person? some specialty jewelers (not the chain) will have them. I asked about vendors on here several years ago.. I know Solomon brothers carries their line, and at one point I thought they also can bring in diamonds.

It’s a beautiful cut! Boodles here in the UK carry it & if I recall, Reese Witherspoon has one in her engagement ring.

I have seen a couple in person, one was lovely and one not so much. I guess it depends on the specifics of each stone. I didn't know about Solomon Brothers, I thought that they weren't available loose unless on the secondary market. I will definitely contact them.

I think that the Boodles version is an Ashoka rather than a Crisscut but they look really similar. I'm not really up for a Boodles price tag though

Here is a picture of my Ashoka engagement ring.. I am recently engaged and I am absolutely in love with my ring! It looks very similar to the crisscut!

Diamonds Direct in the US carries them...at least my local one does. They can be mesmerizing, depends on the the individual stone I think much like the Daussi cushions.

That is beautiful!!! What made you choose this cut in particular?

Thank you!! I originally wanted an emerald cut.. I have always loved the classic look of step cuts. When I went to try on emeralds in person, my jeweler showed me a loose ashoka diamond and I fell in love instantly- I loved how unique it looked and how sparkly it was compared to the emerald.

Due to the way they cut ashokas (and crisscuts)- they also appear about 30 percent larger than the emeralds in the same carat.

I have never seen a crisscut in person, but I am sure you can't go wrong!

So I finally found a non-branded crisscut with great light performance. Its a 1.03 ct D SI2 - the inclusions are feathers and due to the busier facet pattern I'm thinking it should be eye clean in person.



I had more or less given up on the idea of getting a crisscut, having seen a couple that were underwhelming and leaky. When I saw the ASET for this one I decided it was too good to pass up:



I should get it in a couple of weeks

Love this stone you found. Especially in D

 

[Ally T]

How utterly gorgeous! How are you going to set it?

 

[princessandthepear]

What an awesom ASET and simply gorgeous! How will you set your new diamond?

 

[diamondhoarder]

Thanks - yes I'm really excited to see it, I have never owned a D stone before.

How utterly gorgeous! How are you going to set it?

Thanks I'm thinking of sidestones of a similar shape (but smaller), maybe a 3 stone. I love trapezoids so this might be the opportunity to do them, as the long sides of the centre diamond should provide enough space (7.21mm). Problem is I have loads of setting ideas and am going to need to see it person first and then spend lots of time vacillating over what to do with it

What an awesom ASET and simply gorgeous! How will you set your new diamond?

Thanks, I was amazed when I saw the ASET, and very excited. I had thought from the video that it looked a very bright stone and couldnt really see any significant leakage, but videos can be deceiving so when I saw the ASET I knew I needed to buy the stone.

BTW I am dying to know your plans for your beautiful asscher......

Now that is beautiful.

Now that is beautiful.

Yes, I love the 3 stone look. Ideally I would like to find a pair of matched crisscut side diamonds for my stone but I think that may be a tall order.

frenchies or traps or baguettes would look nice too

Absolutely beautiful! Can i ask where you found the stone? We have a local jewelry store who sells crisscuts, but i cannot get past the cost for the brand.

Thanks! I found it on James Allen.
