Warmth without weight. Light brown sits at the quiet end of the champagne range, more color than a white stone and less than a cognac. In yellow gold it settles into the metal. In white gold it reads as a decision rather than an accident.

The most engineered cut in the trade, fifty-seven facets arranged to return as much light as the rough allows. Optimized over a century for maximum brilliance, which is why so much of what is sold today looks alike. We select for the ones that do not: proportions cut for the stone rather than for yield.
