The flower cuts: Fancy and forgoten?

[valeria101]

Does anyone know what hapened with the De Beers Flower Cuts launched about a decade ago? Are they still made? And if so, by whom?

Wow those are really cool!! I have never seen them before.




I like the Sunflower--seems similar somewhat to a Radiant.

I actually have a CZ in a dahlia cut. It's kind of neat. A Thai company called Interlap cuts them; Wink Jones sells them for not all that much $$ at freecz.com. Nice guy, cool stones.

The designs (and names) were released into the public domain by De Beers, so anyone who wants to can make them (that was De Beers's intent). They have not caught on, most likely because they are just too different and not terribly brilliant.
