The Lana Independence Cut — Premier USA Anniversary Collection
A Limited Edition to Treasure:
The Lana Independence Cut is created to be more than a beautiful diamond. It is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the human skill behind every cut—a distinctive keepsake to mark a meaningful moment, a thoughtful and memorable gift, and a treasured heirloom for generations. To make each stone in the Premier USA Anniversary Collection individually identifiable, we plan to laser-inscribe it with the Lana mark and its own serial number. The collection will be limited to 250 pieces, with each number identifying a diamond within this special edition. A rare opportunity to own a piece of the Lana Cut story—crafted to be admired, given with meaning, and cherished for years to come.
The LANA cut isn’t just another diamond shape, it’s a different way of handling light. While most diamonds are cut to maximize a single, broad flash, the LANA cut is built around a star-burst core that radiates outward. Because of that unique, elongated hexagonal silhouette, it feels like a bridge between eras. It has the bold, architectural structure of an Art Deco piece, but the internal geometry is something entirely modern. When you look into it, you aren’t just seeing a simple reflection, you’re seeing a dense, shifting map of light. It doesn’t just sparkle, it glows from the inside out.
While there are many fancy diamond cuts, this facet arrangement is unique. The hexagonal diamonds are usually cut with standard pavilion and crown facet patterns, like a modified brilliant or step cut. LANA design, specifically the way I integrated a central star-like cluster that radiates into an elongated hexagonal geometry, does not match any standard, commercially recognized diamond cut.

The Independence LANA cut is highly marketable to a sophisticated, design-conscious client. It’s not for the person who just wants the biggest, brightest rock in the room, it’s for the person who wants a stone that has a narrative. The LANA cut feels like a “statement” design. It has that “old-soul” vintage silhouette, but the light performance is undeniably modern without making it look cluttered or “busy.”

TESTIMONIALS:
The shape of the LANA Cut is unique, with two pointed ends and long sides that parallel to each other. It is substantially different from the standard step cut, which is normally associated with straight-line shapes. The crown has facet arrangement that enhances the reflection of light, allowing maximum light return through the crown. When viewed from the face-up position, the LANA Cut displays excellent balance and scintillation. - Nizam Peters, Founder of the American Institute of Diamond Cutting (AIDC,Inc)
