Corona Cut

The Corona TM diamond is a new square cut created by Yuval Harary Diamonds, the same team that introduced the Fourever Concept technique ten years ago. The company holds the design patent and registered trademark for this diamond cut.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CUTTING ISSUES The Corona has 65 total facets, 40 on the pavilion and 25 on the crown. The stones are cut in the company's house factory in Ramat Gan, Israel. The square-cut stones are cut deeper than rounds in order to ensure the kind of light output that distinguishes the stone from other cuts. Corona cuts are available between 0.05 and 2 carats, in colors D through J and in clarities IF through 11. The Corona is certified by the Israel Diamond Institute (IDI).

MARKETS AND MARKETING
The Corona is sold in the Far East, Australia, the United States, and Europe, by selected customers who use the stones in their own jewelry designs. It has been used in solitaire rings, channel-set rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets. Collections featuring items with the Corona cut can be seen at www.fourever.net.

PRICING AND SUPPLY
The prices for Corona cuts run about the same as comparable round stones, as the diamond comes from a similar rough material and has about the same weight loss from the cutting process.
