Great jewelers through the ages have struggled with how to improve on perfection. It wasn’t enough to just shape and polish. A cut needed personality and style.

So people paid attention when Abraham and Joseph introduced their variation on the emerald cushion cut. Their octagon-shaped, stepped cut was enormously popular during the 1920s and has enjoyed a resurgence as an A-list accessory on Hollywood’s hottest celebrities.
