Katertot Katertot Afficionado Registered: 08/25/09 Posts: 437 Loc: Canada	I have recently been REALLY interested in the flanders cut. I was wondering if anyone who owned a flanders could give me some info about how it performs? I read somewhere they sparkle like crazy, and I love all the pictures I've seen.. the cut is amazing, it helps that I am extremely partial to square-ish shapes hehe~ I would be so greateful if anyone who has a flanders asha or CZ could give me their reviews and personal experience!! Thank you so much! ^_^

I hear it's a very sparkly stone! http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/393984/fpart/1 _________________________ "Lucky I'm In Love With My Best Friend" - 16 wonderful years on 11/13/09!

Anozira Anozira The Florentine Diamond Registered: 07/13/06 Posts: 5132	I had a flanders solitaire many moons ago and personally didn't care for it. The sparkle factor was just ok, something about the faceting seemed odd to me. If you want a real fireball in a squarish shape I highly recommend the Jubilee! Unfortunately Ashas don't come in that cut but the Winfields are very nice $\:\)$

Jsmith8 Jsmith8 Mentor Registered: 07/05/09 Posts: 978 Loc: Chicago	Does anyone know if the Flanders is an actual cut of diamond or just a sim cut? I have searched on websites for loose diamonds and all the other typicals, james allen, blue nile, etc, and it is not listed as an option on there... _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/HeyGatsbyTV

maliasmom maliasmom The Imperial Diamond Registered: 05/14/06 Posts: 6111	It is a fancy cut diamond: http://www.khulsey.com/jewelry/patented_diamond_cuts.html Flanders Brilliant Cut The Flanders Brilliant Cut (aka Fire Brilliant) is a modified Radiant or Princess cut with truncated corners that form an octagon with brilliant faceting. The Flanders Brilliant has 33 crown facets and 28 pavilion facets for a total of 61 facets. The Flanders Fire-Brilliant was developed by Flanders Cut International of Antwerp in 1983, and the cut was named after the Flanders region of Belgium (Antwerp) where the cut was first preformed in 1987. The cut is distributed by the National Diamond Syndicate (NDS) of Chicago. http://www.flanders-cuts.com http://www.nationaldiamond.com _________________________ BTD Moderator $\:\)$
