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.
For more information, retailers can contact Steve Feldman at 212-575-0290 or by email, sfeldman@hasenfeld-stein.com.

Los Angeles-based manufacturer Quadamas Inc. now is offering an “AsscherQueen” diamond cut, available as loose stones from 3.1 mm and larger as well as half-carat and larger stones starting from M color and S12 clarity.
The cut is an extension of the company’s Asscher-cut Princess line.
Each diamond has its own GIA certificate and the AsscherQueen logo laser-inscribed on the girdle. The Asscher Queen has more facets and “produces greater brilliancy, scintillation and dispersion for additional sparkle, along with decreased fragility due to the cut corners, creating a more durable stone more resistant to daily wear fractures,” Quadamas said.
The AsscherQueen diamonds will be available through Quadamas in Los Angeles “with potential for exclusive distribution by market upon negotiation.” The company will provide a new logo, marketing materials for
point-of-sale and YouTube videos for retailers to use.
For additional information, contact Quadamas at 213-995-9595, ext. 15 or email israel@quadamas.com.
