Double Brilliance Diamonds

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

New Antwerp Twins Certified Cut Delivers More For Your Money

— September 30, 2009 — Luxury
Could this be an end to men's engagement ring woes?  It’s too early to tell, but diamond cutters in Antwerp, the international hub of the industry, have found a way to make your rock shine twice as nice. 

Based on the traditional Brilliant cut, a new rounded top adds extra facets, boosting its bling rating.  It was designed by 3D Diamonds and the CEO Eva Van Looveren got the idea for it while pregnant with twins.  While not a diamond girl myself, one can appreciate the awesome science behind the styling of these sparkling gems that took billions of years to form.

The Antwerp Twins will be debuting this month at the Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Fair.

1. Enhanced Diamond Cuts - The development of double brilliance diamonds, with a new rounded top and extra facets, opens up opportunities for enhanced diamond cuts.
2. Innovative Jewelry Design - The introduction of double brilliance diamonds inspires new and innovative jewelry designs that take advantage of the enhanced sparkle and bling.
