Hasenfeld-Stein recently introduced the “FireCushion,” a patent-pending diamond cut classified by the Gemological Institute of America as a cushion-brilliant and rated “excellent” in polish and symmetry, the company said.
The FireCushion appears 15 percent larger than typical cushion-cut diamonds of the same weight, Hasenfeld-Stein said. The FireCushion also will be 15 percent lighter than a typical cushion cut of the same dimensions, as their facets go directly from the girdle to cutlet, “eliminating that extra belly and excess weight.”
The FireCushion stones have a minimum 95 percent light return and are priced on the fancies list rather than the rounds list.
FireCushion retailers will receive full marketing support, including geographic exclusivity, point-of-sale selling tools, sales training and graphics and videos for online presence.
