Stuller To Distribute Quadamas’ New Asscher Cut Princess Sapphires

Lafayette, LA—Stuller Inc. will distribute Los Angeles-based Quadamas Inc.’s all-new, patented line of Asscher-cut princess sapphires in the U.S. market. The cut combines Asscher facets on the crown with princess facets on the pavilion, effectively doubling the number of facets in a single sapphire stone. This produces greater scintillation and dispersion for additional sparkle, along with decreased fragility due to the cut corners, creating a more durable stone. A selection of rings using the stones is shown at left. 

“We are delighted to infuse some excitement into the precious gemstone market,” says Israel Itzkowitz of Quadamas. “Lovers of colored stones now have a beautiful new look to add to their fine jewelry wardrobe.”
“We feel that these brilliant gemstones have a unique look and great profit potential,” says Stanley Zale, Stuller’s vice president of diamonds and gemstones. “Furthermore, Quadamas and Stuller share the same high-quality expectations and above par standards in regards to the selection and distribution of our gemstones.”

Only loose Asscher cut princess sapphires are available through Stuller, in various carat weights and colors, including pink, blue, yellow and white. A series of high definition videos will be available soon for retailers to use in marketing or for educational purposes.

For more information, contact Stuller at (800) 877-7777 ext. 546.
