Antwerp diamantaire launches ‘Brilliant Lady 21’ cut
by David Norden
Pierre Adler, a veteran Antwerp-based diamond manufacturer, has introduced onto the market a new multi-faceted round diamond cut, which he has called the Brilliant Lady 21 cut.
Whereas the standard full-cut round brillant diamond features 58 facets, including the culet, Adler's Brilliant Lady 21 cut includes 221 facets. These include 56 crown facets, 64 pavilion facets and a culet facet, as well as 100 minute facets on the girdle.
To produce the new design, Adler mobilized the services of Louis Verelst, one of Antwerp most experienced cutters, who is producing the Brilliant Lady 21 cut exclusively in his own factory.
Says Adler, "We are marketing the Brillant Lady 21 as an exclusive 'Made in Antwerp' diamond. We already have downstream interest from jewelry chains abroad, and I can assure you that this lady will truly be an ambassador for the excellence of diamond cutting in Antwerp."
HRD Certificates has begun issuing diamond grading reports for the Brilliant Lady 21 cut, with its proprietary name printed clearly on each certificate.
