Each Leo Diamond® is precisely cut with 66 facets. The cut's eight additional facets, which distinguish it from the round brilliant cut, are carefully placed on the pavilion of the diamonds. This precise design ensures excellent return of light, thereby maximizing brilliance and fire. As one expert commented after inspecting a Leo Diamond®, these extra facets "do a good job of lighting up the center" of the stone. It is this increased brilliance that serves as the signature characteristic of these specially crafted diamonds. This unique cut is the genius of Leo Schacter and his team at Leo Schacter Diamonds. Mr. Schacter navigates his work with a distinctive passion for diamonds and a dedication to excellence and integrity. Every Leo Diamond® conveys this commitment to quality and brilliance. Pictured above is a classic diamond solitaire engagement ring which features a .48-carat Leo Diamond® mounted in solid 14k white gold with a platinum head. The inside shank of the ring is engraved with the words "THE LEO", with a small white diamond set in place of the "O". The diamond itself is laser inscribed with the serial number LEO 063720. Each Leo Diamond® carries one of these distinctive serial numbers. This "fingerprint" allows a prospective buyer to trace the stone back to the diamond cutters and/or polishers who crafted that particular diamond to perfection. In the case of this particular stone, an inquiry informs us that a group of four artisans worked together to craft this Leo Diamond®. Yankee Cohen and Elijah Zariff from Israel, together with Haim Amoyal and Albert Iluz from Morcco,  cut and polished this diamond to perfection. Each of these men are celebrated by Leo Schacter Diamonds as specialists in what they call "brilliandeering"--the art of "revealing the maximum sparkle and fire from within the stone." To own a Leo Diamond® is to own a work of distinction. These remarkably cut stones reflect an "unmistakable passion for diamonds" and are endowed by their makers with the symbolism of true and passionate love.
