Betzalel "Bez" Ambar is an American jewelry designer who came to worldwide recognition in 1982 with the invention of the Quadrillion cut, better known as the Princess cut.[1] He owns and operates jewelry business Bez Ambar Inc. in Los Angeles, California.[2]
Career[edit]
Bez Ambar moved to Los Angeles and founded Ambar Diamonds, Inc in 1979.[3] Two years later he unveiled the Princess cut diamond under the trademark Quadrillion. Initially created as a diamond distribution business utilizing his connections at the Israel Diamond Exchange, the business quickly began to focus on jewelry design and distribution after creating a sample ring to market it.[4]
In 1992, Bez brought to the market a variant of his invisible setting, the Boundless, a rimless, prong-less setting, for round diamonds.[5] In 1999, he innovated the Pavé setting know as the Micro-Pavé setting.[6]
In 2003, he invented the Blaze cut diamond and most recently the round Divine Cut in 2015.[7] These cuts feature fewer facets to maximize on the color dispersion aspect of diamonds called fire.[8]
