The Christmas Tree cut was developed about two decades ago by George Saltzman, New York. Rough triangular macle is polished with grooves depicting the branches of a pine tree. The stones are still being cut in limited quantities in Israel and Belgium.
Green or blue diamonds are desirable for this cut, the latter being a representation of a blue spruce tree. Off- color colored diamonds may be irradiated to achieve the desirable colors. Christmas tree cut is popular with Christmas tree farmers.
