Make the cut

Posted at 12:00:00 AM in A. Link (7)

 

Diamonds may be forever, but they are not created equal. They may mesmerize the untrained eye with an inner kaleidoscopic glow dance, but some diamonds literally shine more than the others. Even if you hold it in the dark with little light, a precisely made diamond can create a dazzling show of light where other wither out. Like an A. Link diamond. Using a signature 60/60 table and depth ratio cut, A. Link diamonds create an elegant balance of weight and refraction that makes its diamonds sparkle above traditionally cut stones. The cut gives maximum polish, symmetry, culet and girdle that jewelry retailers in the U.S. prize and came to trust. It all started when Adolph Link migrated from Vienna to New York in 1894, armed only with the skills and passion of his goldsmith father. Crafting jewelry with the best in Fifth Avenue, New York, he perfected the cut and would establish A. Link as one of the world’s leading diamond jewelry brands. Today, A. Link diamonds preserve the consistent signature cut whether hand or machine crafted, its color and clarity grades match the standards of the Gemological Institute of America and the American Gem Society.
