HENRI DAUSSI — TRADITION OF
EXCELLENCE
The Daussi cushion-cut diamond remains a favorite
of many brides around the world, due to its exceptional beauty and distinguished characteristics. When a woman chooses
to wear a Henri Daussi ring, she says to the world that she truly recognizes the luxury and quality of a fine piece of jewelry.
The Daussi Cushion was conceived and executed by master diamond cutter Henri Daussi Loots over 60 years ago. Loots understood, even then, that people were interested in a bigger looking diamond without sacrificing any of its brilliance. The distinctive Daussi cushion is a proprietary cut that makes the stone appear to be 30
to 50 percent larger, without losing any of its brilliance or fire.
The story of Henri Daussi Loots began when he was a boy in Antwerp, where he learned the craft of diamond cutting from his father. Living in the diamond capital of
the world, Loots continued his artistry and was able to work on some of the
most exceptional and significant stones of his time. His mastery in the field
led him to create the first ever heart-shaped diamond, which became an international sensation and solidified his position as one of the premier diamond cutters in Europe.
Creating the world’s most brilliant diamonds has become a family tradition. Jeff and Kristiaan Loots, Henri’s grandsons, continue his
legacy by maintaining his high standards of excellence in craftsmanship
and design. Henri Daussi is also a leader in sourcing its diamonds responsibly,
from the ground through the finished piece. The quality and timelessness of a Henri Daussi piece will bring joy to one that wears it and will be treasured for generations to come.
