ABOUT
Since its creation in California in 1999, the original Tycoon Cut has established itself as the preferred, modern cut of diamond across markets in the US & Europe.
In 2015, following the acquisition of this trademarked cut, Tycoon Cut Australia has reimagined this clever design, launching Tycoon 8 – a variation and improvement on the original Tycoon Cut design, creating a new eight sided cut of diamond with incomparable beauty.
True to the origins of the Tycoon Cut, Tycoon 8 allows for the best qualities of each individual diamond to come to the fore – resulting in a breathtakingly beautiful sparkle & fire.
Whilst increasing a gems fire & brilliance, this unique cut, with its deceptively simple step cut pavilion allows the colour of each diamond to show display higher than in actuality, whilst unique facets cleverly disguise inclusion far better than more traditional square or rectangular shaped tables.

CUT
More than any other characteristics, the precision of cut and overall proportion of a diamond when being cut from a rough diamond, ultimately determines the brilliance of the diamond.
A polished diamond’s brilliance lies in its complex relationship with light - how light reflects off the facets, how much enters the diamond and what amount of light returns to your eye.
The proportion of each individual diamond directly affects its brilliance and appeal. Diamonds with excellent proportions, symmetry and polish optimise their interaction with light. Often diamonds are cut to retain weight rather than excellent proportion, as this may sometimes yield a slightly higher price as the expense of quality.
Each Tycoon Cut diamond has been meticulously cut to our patented design, maximising the natural brilliance & fire. -
COLOUR
The colour of a diamond is an important characteristic when determining a diamonds value. Generally the less colour, the higher the value.
Diamonds are normally characterised by their lack of colour, and using a set of authenticated master diamonds to compare against, each diamond is given a grade using the English alphabet from D (colourless) to Z (most saturated colour).
The untrained eye is incapable of making assessments that dramatically affect a diamond’s value.
The patented Tycoon Cut’s unique faceting pattern allows each diamonds colour to display higher than in actuality, giving you greater choice for a bright white diamond. -
CARAT
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats.
It is important to remember that carat weight alone does not determine a diamond’s value. Diamonds of equal weight can vary widely in price because of difference in cut, proportion, colour, clarity & other characteristics. Two diamonds that weigh the same can in fact have completely different measurements. -
CLARITY
Because diamonds are formed deep within the earth’s core, under extreme heat and pressure, they often contain unique birthmarks, either internal inclusions or external blemishes.
Virtually all diamonds have naturally occurring inclusions or blemishes – the size, position and type of these inclusions have a direct effect on a diamond’s beauty and value.
Two diamonds which may have the same clarity grade on a diamond certificate can appear very different when viewed in person. One cannot rely on a diamond’s certified characteristics alone.
Our unique and patented crown faceting pattern cleverly disguises inclusion better than any other cut of diamond; careful hand selection of rough ensures all Tycoon Cut diamonds truly represent the very best of their grade. -
CERTIFICATE
Diamond grading reports don’t tell you what the diamond’s value is, but does provide an expert opinion on its grading and can only be issued for a loose, unset diamond.
Laboratories like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and Gem Studies Laboratory (GSL) are renowned within the industry for providing consistent and accurate opinions about a diamond’s grading. We recommend all diamonds above 0.50ct to have a diamond grading report, otherwise known as a certificate.
Your Tycoon Cut diamond comes with a unique serial number and trademark laser inscription guaranteeing its authenticity and uniqueness.
