The Flanders
Cut
The Flanders Brilliant I a full square
brilliant cut created by a brilliant gemologist in 1983. It was
polished the 1st time at the end of 1987 in a small diamond polishing
factory near Antwerp. It was polished to perfection. This gorgeous
diamond cut is named for Flanders, the northern federal region of Belgium where
it was first polished.
The Flanders Cut is the result of
high-level creativity and polishing expertise of Antwerp craftsmen. It has
61 impressive facets, and takes an average of 1/3 more time to cut the Flanders
compared to the Round Brilliant Cut.
All of the facets have to be positioned
perfectly in order to catch and play with the light to make this diamond
shine. The upper facets on the crown enhance the fire, while the deep
sides, also known as the pavilion, improve reflection, which produces an amazing
diamond filled with fire and sparkle.
