Wayne,

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! When I made the statement about
    princess, marquise, pear, oval, etc being modified brilliants, I was
    referring to the pavilion facet arrangements and you have confirmed
    this with regard to navette, pear and oval. 

    I did not wish to get into some silly argument about personal
    opinion. It's refreshing to read what you say about well cut
    princess diamonds and quadrillion outperforming a round brilliant in
    terms of brilliance or light return. I'll look into the qualdrillion
    as an alternative but still love the princess. 

    I was advised to look at the Flanders cut but to me it too closely
    resembles the round brilliant. I prefer the look of the square
    radiant and Barion cut but will also look at the qualdrillion. 

    Any more suggestions for alternative square cuts which exhibit a
    similar star-shaped arrangement of facets to the princess cut would
    be gratefully appreciated. 

    BTW I'm with you on the emerald cut diamond too. Fantastic
    dispersion and flashes of light.
