The Crisscut™ diamond is the creation of Christopher Slowinski, the owner of Christopher Designs. The company holds the design patent and registered trademark for this diamond cut.

The step-cut Crisscut™ has some facets which are crisscrossed, and comes in four shapes shapes: Emerald, Cushion, Asscher and Round. The most famous being the Emerald cut, triangular facets are applied to the steps in the pavilion. The intriguing Crisscut™ has 77 facets compared to a normal emerald cut’s 44 facets and its unique faceting optimizes the reflection of light, increasing its radiance. When placed next to an emerald cut, the difference is obvious. The Crisscut™ gives new dimension to the traditional emerald and baguette shaped stones by maximizing the ultimate brilliance and fire that a diamond may posses.

The Crisscut™ diamond is more forgiving in SI qualities, face up whiter and have superior brilliance compared to its emerald and baguette counterparts.
