RubyBleu,
I sort of like them but they are subject to the same optical issues that any other cut has. This means that stones proportions are just as important with a Leo as they are with a round brilliant. Unfortunately, the dealers seem to want to discuss the number of facets as an alternative to talking about the real data and they can use this tactic to pass through some otherwise pretty marginal stones. Stick to your guns and they’ll give you the real info. Sarin analysis,
Idealscope, HCA and all the other toys work on these just fine and you can draw the same conclusions. I’ve also seen them accompanied by AGSL grading reports. They have a fairly limited distributorship but there are usually several choices in every market. As mentioned above, there several competitors with similar round specialty cuts.
