The "Cut" Above The Rest !
J.C.
Millennium Cut Diamond
Howards Jewelers is
Pennsylvania's #1
distributor of the J.C. Millennium Cut
diamond.
This patented diamond cut
was created and came to be
after a full year of cutting
and experimenting by master
cutter John Ceulemans. Mr.
Ceulemans has polished a
number of important
diamonds, including five D
flawless stones of more than
100 carats each.
The J.C. Millennium Cut is a
16-sided, 88-faceted stone.
The cut features a very
unique "up and down" girdle,
which gives the cut a
brighter more fiery
appearance than just a plain
58 facet stone.
The 16 flat "up and down"
girdle facets come together
at slight points, creating a
much different look than the
straight girdle of typical
round brilliant-cut stones.
Another unique aspect of the
stone is the break-line in
the pavilion, which
subdivides the bottom of the
pavilion into more facets
and gives the stone the
appearance of a flower when
viewed at night or in lower
light through the table and
two stars when viewed in
brighter light.
The most substantial
differences from the
standard round brilliant are
the girdle and the bottom.
The girdle consists of 16
facets that go up and down
symmetrically, while the
bottom side is designed with
three different angles. The
complex composition of these
facets creates a much
stronger brilliancy than any
classical diamond cut. The
difference becomes even much
more striking when the
diamond is being twisted and
viewed from different
positions.
Every stone has a serial
number which is engraved on
the girdle by laser.
Every stone comes with a
certificate of origin,
signed by creator John
Ceulemans, mentioning the
serial number, the quality
and certificate number from
HRD, The Diamond High
Council.
