The Ideal Cut

With a legacy spanning over 120 years, Lazare Diamonds have been trademarked as “the world’s most beautiful diamonds”. Founded by Lazare Kaplan in 1903, they’re the pioneers behind the world famous “ideal cut”, manufactured according to carefully selected measurements and angles. They’ve had a profound influence on the fashion industry, teaming up with jewellery companies and turning their magnificent diamonds into wearable items. But what is the ideal cut? And how can more people understand the art behind cutting diamonds? Charles C Rosario, Vice President and expert diamond cutter of Lazare, joins us on the show, and walks us through everything we need to know. Next, Florence Song, Style Lead at Zalora, talk about yet another fall trend that has found its way to Malaysia, Chelsea Boots.
