What is a WEB CUT???

[decodelighted]

I just saw these things and my eyes went

. Is this "web cut" new? Ever hear of it before??

that''s all i could find. i''ve never seen it before.

i have seen it - it looks like a cross between an asscher with a touch of princess.
Or a bit like a tycoon or a Criss Cut.

Better in larger stones than very small ones.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

Deco, where did you find those?!?! I spent days trying to find webcuts --even had a thread asking about them -- all to no avail!

You are my hero, but only if you've got a link to share!

ETA: What a dork!

I was so excited that I didn't even notice that you already had the link up there!

I swear, a couple months ago, I could find NOTHING about this stone! But this place has Stephen Webster designs, some including webcut stones, like this one...

how about the matching bracelet...

or a 2.06 E VS2 Solitaire...only 23,500 pounds (about $50,000, right?)

This place has more info and some jewelry (though no prices). Unfortunately, all their webcut diamonds seem to come with HRD certificates. Is that more acceptable in the UK?

a nice pic...

Last one, because I am aggravated that I couldn''t find any of this before! Here is the Webcut website:

Okay, this really is the last one...just because I find it bizzarely fascinating.

That hand spider thing is just WEIRD!! But looking at all those diamonds up close in the design....purty!!!

Oh my, what a gorgous cut! I wish I had seen that sooner...My e-ring might have looked a whole lot different.
