The Crisscut
difference
Brighter by design

Crisscut® diamonds stand out due to their increased number of precisely angled facets, which allow for superior light reflection compared to generic diamond cuts. Traditional diamonds, such as standard emerald or cushion cuts, often have fewer facets and larger step patterns, which can limit their sparkle. In contrast, Crisscut® diamonds utilize a crisscrossed faceting technique that disperses light more evenly across the surface, resulting in a visibly brighter and more radiant appearance.

Brilliance in every cut

Beyond simple brightness, Crisscut® diamonds offer a noticeable increase in brilliance—the combination of white light return and scintillation that gives a diamond its signature sparkle. Their unique facet structure captures and reflects light from multiple angles, creating a dynamic shimmer that shifts beautifully with movement. While generic diamonds may appear flat or dull in comparison, the brilliance of a Crisscut® diamond enhances its perceived size and liveliness. This makes the stone not only more attractive to the eye but also a more valuable and emotionally impactful centerpiece for fine and high jewelry.

More diamond for your carat

L’Amour Crisscut® diamonds are specifically designed to look significantly larger than generic diamond cuts of the same carat weight, offering exceptional visual impact without added cost. Their patented shape features an elongated silhouette and broader table, which increases the surface area by up to 60% compared to traditional cuts like round or oval. This means a 1-carat L’Amour Crisscut® diamond can appear as large as a 1.5-carat generic stone, delivering a bold, eye-catching look while maintaining a lighter, more comfortable fit. For buyers who want a show-stopping diamond without paying for additional weight, the L’Amour Crisscut® offers unmatched size-to-carat efficiency.

Where light becomes luxury

L’Amour Crisscut® diamonds appear noticeably brighter than generic diamonds because of their innovative, elongated design and broader top surface, which allows more light to enter and reflect across the stone. This increased exposure to light enhances the diamond’s natural glow, making it appear more vivid and radiant in both natural and artificial lighting. Generic cuts often lose light through the sides or have areas that appear dull, but the L’Amour Crisscut® is engineered to minimize shadowing and maximize visibility. The result is a diamond that looks clearer, whiter, and more luminous—drawing the eye instantly without relying on added carat weight.

A shine that fills the diamonds

L’Amour Crisscut® diamonds offer a unique brilliance that sets them apart from generic diamonds thanks to their patented faceting and elongated shape, which are optimized to reflect light more efficiently across the entire surface of the stone. Unlike traditional diamond cuts that may focus brilliance in the center or lose light through the sides, the L’Amour Crisscut® distributes sparkle evenly, creating a consistent shimmer from edge to edge. This design not only enhances the diamond’s overall fire and scintillation but also ensures it maintains its radiance in a variety of lighting conditions. The result is a vibrant, luminous diamond that looks alive with light—delivering a more captivating and luxurious appearance than standard cuts.
