Just took a look at the certificate. I didn't realize Tiffany's would use a modified brilliant cushion in their Legacy rings. (Or am I not comparing apples with apples?) Would a modified brilliant on a Tiffany's certificate be equivalent to a modified brilliant on a GIA certificate?
Am I also seeing right that the table is 69% and depth is 60.4%? Shouldn't these numbers be reversed?[/QUOTE
the legacy is a patented cut...there are no rules or plots out there for it, it doesn't fall into the normal(whatever that really is) cushion categories, it's kinda a hybrid cushion/step cut...top secret tiffany stuff you know
Just took another closer look at the centre stone. You're right, mrssalvo, it's definitely a "hybrid cushion/step cut". Wonder why I never noticed this when I was looking at them in the Tiffany store???

Wow what a fantastic price. Jeez, that''s significantly cheaper than my tanzanite. LOL
Oh and yeah, that cut is patented, but Tiffany doesn''t own it. They just own the license to it. The original inventor owns it. (Sort of unusual for the inventor to own the patent when a product like this is so successfully marketed worldwide, but in this case, true nonetheless).

Its probably out of the range within the allowed scope of the patent parameters...
Too shallow and table too big!
