At the gem show this weekend I was walking by a guy selling estate items - jewelry, watches, etc. I stopped to look at his booth - I immediately focused in on what appeared to me to be a transitional cut diamond (still in its setting). I asked if it was a transitional cut and he replied that it is a swiss cut (Darn, and I was so proud of myself for about 2 seconds when I thought I had identified the type of cut!!). He said swiss cut was from 1890-1920. What would be the expected visual differences between the two? There is not much out there on swiss cuts aside from facet #. Thanks
Also, does anyone have any pics of both that they could perhaps place side by side to learn how to visually compare them? Thank you!
