BR is a 66 Facets cut diamond..ie. its not the standard IDEAL 57/58 Ideal cut. As such it is deem as modified round brillant cut. Standard assessment like HCA score is not valid.

I believed the BR is a locally branded cut (Correct me if i am wrong)..like Destinee...so the BR cert is only recognized locally..by SooKee..

Since you seem to be going to branded...have you consider looking at Lazare (for standard 57/58 IDEAL Cut)/ Gabriella (108 Facets cut) Diamond which is international branded.. Even though they also provided in-house cert...it is still a international branded in-house cert ......
Pricing wise,... Lazare will be closer to BR then Gabriella...

Hi mingj,

Just a correction... Gabrielle Diamond has 105 facets for Round, Marquise, Oval and Pear shapes, 121 facets for Cushion shape...

We use Diamant Pruf Labor (not in-house certificate) to certify our diamonds, and they follow the International Diamond Council (IDC) rules (similar to HRD). The difference is, unlike many certificates, they guarantee correct grading.

In addition, we also have a personalized certificate with Sir Gabi Tolkowsky's signature for every diamond. For special diamonds, Sir Gabi may write a personal letter for the owner for keepsake, giving information about the date and location where the rough was found, who found it, what was its original size etc etc.

The Brilliant Rose is known only in Singapore, and has 66 facets. It is known as the Leo diamond outside Singapore.

Best regards,
Stephen Tan
