Amorillion Fancy Cut Diamond
The Amorillion is patented and trademarked by AM-GOLD
Products, Inc. It is a "multidiamond product" or "compound
cut" that's composed of two elongated shield-shape or modified trillion-cut
diamonds perfectly matched and aligned to create the illusion of a marquise-cut
diamond. The Amorillion TM, available exclusively through AM-GOLD, is part of a
lO-karat, 14-karat and 18-karat gold jewelry collection featuring a variety of
styles.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CUTTING ISSUES
The two modified triangle-shape diamonds that make up the Amorillion yield a
marquise look-alike substantially larger than an actual marquise of the same
weight. In addition, the stones together contain more facets than a traditional
marquise cut, therefore yielding more brilliance. Amorillions are available in
sizes ranging from 1/6 to 5/8 carat, resulting in up to 1.5 carats in total
weight, I clarity, I through J colors.
MARKETS AND MARKETING
AM-GOLD currently markets the Amorillion through retailers across the U.S.,
including some of the largest high-volume chains. The extensive range of designs
can be ordered as trios, bridal sets or individual rings.
PRICING AND SUPPLY
The concept behind the Amorillion, and all "compound cuts," is to
create a product with the appearance of a large diamond, using two or more
smaller stones aligned in a setting. This allows the consumer the opportunity to
purchase a product that looks like a large diamond at a fraction of the cost. As
far as size standards for the Amorillion, a good rule of thumb is that it looks
30 percent larger than a marquise of the same weight.
WHAT BUYERS SHOULD LOOK FOR
Each of the stones making up the Amorillion should be perfectly
matched and aligned in rings made using the stamped, cast or forced method,
guaranteeing a uniform, quality product with an excellent finish."
