Back
A client sent me this stone for recutting. Intense pink topaz like this is expensive and sometimes marketed as "Imperial topaz". When I received it, the stone was 8.00ct, 10.90x10.92x7.23mm. It was cut in a square cushion outline using a simple step-cut design. To add weight to the finished stone, the orignal cutter used a long keel instead of having the culet facets come to a point as a square shape would require. The large window in the center of the stone robs it of both color and sparkle -- which is exactly why my client described it as "dead."
