where can i find various cut corner square cuts?

[hrose]

any suggestions on where i can find these various cut corner square cuts, i live in southern california (orange county but could go to LA):
-cut corner square brilliant
-lucere
-princess of hearts (unless this is only available through GOG?)
I''m just not sure what I want and feel like I really need to see all three in person to decide, but have never seen these cuts in any stores around me.
Also would you say a cut corner square brilliant is the same as a princess, besides the corners?
thanks!

www.goodoldgold.com sells a variety of these as you know, but I don''t know where you would find them in LA...Cut corner square brilliant is not be the same as a Princess and we need diamonds for direct comparison to tell you what the differences are.

You could go to a jeweler that sells Hearts on Fire diamonds and ask to see the Dream cut. It is a clipped corner hearts and arrow diamond. It will be quite pricey, so you may want to purchase something similar elsewhere, but it will give you a chance to see what this cut looks like. My e-ring is a HOF RB and I have seen the Dream diamond and think that they are stunners! Good luck

ETA: a clipped corner H&A diamond does not perform like a princess, which shows a lot of pinfire. It has very similar properties to an Ideal 0 round brilliant.
