With our pink Takara's, we are also introducing the "passion" cut, which is a combination of a round brilliant bottom, a 3step crown Asscher top, and cut to an octagon shape.

The result is a stone with a very high amount of scintillation, and a unique silhoutte to its shape:



Assuming this one doesn't sell as a loose stone, we're planning to put this into a three stone ring, with this takara pink as the center, and side .15ct white naturals.

Wow this would really cool in the ring Sam wants to have made, I think that the bezel would really bring out the shape.

DA-YUM! That is beautiful!

Lust in my heart. A passion for pink passion...bad Cyn, down girl, go to your corner!

Its not just the cut...the shades of pink being produced are so beautiful! Not like the horrible "pink ice" of the 80's at all. These stones have changed my opinion of pink diamonds...for the better.

Beautiful...just beautiful! I'm almost certain that it won't make it into the 3-stone setting?

DA, that cut/color combo is remarkable! The colors are so lush and lively...it cyntillates!

I've never seen that cut before but dare I say that I -might- like it better than the Flanders? I would love to see more photos or even in person. Wishful thinking ... I know.

I'm with DA ... never been a fan of pink before but these Takaras are simply amazing. Very anxious to see how the blues goes.

Oh Cyn, *sigh*, lol

And I'm w/the rest of them, I was never a fan of pink stones, but there's something different about these...

It almost appears to be like a candy, you know? Like I could suck on it and it would taste like a watermelon Jolly Rancher or something .
