SHINE
BRIGHT
HEAD TO BELLUSSO IN
PALAZZO FOR A GEM OF
A FIND: THE ASHOKA
DIAMOND.
In Vegas, we love our bling
big and extra brilliant—even
better if a diamond's cut
makes it appear even bigger
and brighter. Enter the
Ashoka, a patented diamond
cut that looks 30 percent
larger than an emerald cut
of the same carat weight
because its 62 facets create
a crazy-brilliant prismatic
effect. Perhaps best
described as an elongated
antique cushion cut, the
Ashoka was inspired by
a 41.37-carat, D flawless
diamond discovered in
Southern India and later
named for an ancient Indian
emperor. Recently, Kwiat
became the exclusive US
distributor of the proprietary
diamond brand. And if
you're shopping in Las
Vegas, you'll only find it in
Bellusso Jewelers in Grand
Canal Shoppes. Nothing says
love like a diamond that took
up to six months to cut.

The original mystical, flawless
Ashoka diamond was said to
banish sorrow. We're
guessing this one has the
same magical powers.
