Furthermore, the "Ariana" is a diamond we designed and patented. This is a beautiful diamond designed and cut to Ideal Standards. The Ariana is a technically complicated diamond to cut but the end result is extraordinary: it offers the best of the ideal round and the modern princess cuts. Most importantly, I find that this is a diamond that offers great versatility to discriminating designing goldsmiths. The Ariana tapers to eight subtle points that are not easily broken and a pavilion that allows a maximum of dispersion and scintillation. In addition, the Ariana, with 8-points, 8-sides, and 88-facets has a strong appeal to the affluent Chinese market due to the auspicious nature of the numeral eight.
