H. Stern Launches Its Own Branded Diamond Cut

Jewelry maker and retailer H. Stern has launched its own branded diamond cut, the Stern Star. The cut is described as “organic and asymmetric,” and has the design of a star, created by the facets at the top and the base.

The Stern Star diamond, which took over three years to develop, has 20 internal facets rather than the traditional 16 on its pavilion, and the table of the diamodn has a wider surface than that of a round stone.

These added facets have resulted in the “exceptional, almost kaleidoscopic, hypnotic radiance,” says H. Stern's creative director Roberto Stern.

H. Stern says the new cut epitomizes’s their creative philosophy of “twisting the classics to present fresh and unique ideas.”

The launch of Stern Star comes three years after H. Stern presented its own color of gold, the 18 karat Noble Gold, an alloy with a flesh tone. The two developments are now used together in the Stern Star collection, a line of 21 diamond jewels featuring white diamonds in the Stern Star cut set in architectural designs of 18 karat Noble Gold with contrasting black diamonds.

The collection ranges in price from $20,000 to $330,000, and includes wide rings, rings with three center stones and sides covered with a pave of diamonds, rings with one center stone, pinkie rings, long earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
