The cut

The Haviv Moreno French Cut is a renewed and refined version of one of the oldest diamond cuts. Urban and bright, it sits equally well in antique, Art Deco and completely modern jewellery.

Our production includes calibrated lines starting from 2.0 mm, larger single stones of up to 1.00–1.25 ct (or larger, according to your design), and rectangular, tapered and trapezium-style variations. It is particularly suited to channel setting, eternity and half-eternity rings, where it shows its full beauty and lustre.
