A diamond is a girl’s best friend, but the L’Amour Crisscut is her BFF. Christopher Slowinski started his company, Christopher Designs, back in 1981. He learned under master jewelers in Poland and put that knowledge to work building his company in the United States. He eventually came to patent his diamond cut design.
The Crisscut Compared to a Regular Emerald Cut Diamond
Slowinski’s original Crisscut gemstone had 77 "crisscrossed" facets instead of the typical 48. This was an incredible advance in just how brilliant a diamond could be. Fascinated by the engineering of diamond cuts, he even went farther with his “Brilliant Cut.” This diamond appears to be round, however, its cut consists of 12 sides and 12 straight walls, featuring 109 facets.
“I have always been intrigued with taking something established and making it even more beautiful,” said Slowinski.

Crisscut Diamonds
With the patented Crisscut adding so many more facets, its light dispersion and the white light brilliance is like no other diamond cut. The Crisscut diamond nearly doubles the number of facets of the conventional diamond, adding just that much more brilliant light sparkling from your finger.
