Brilliant Cut

A brilliant cut is a specific style of shaping a diamond that maximizes its brilliance and sparkle. It features a precise arrangement of facets—flat surfaces—designed to reflect and refract light efficiently. Typically, a round brilliant cut has 58 facets, including the table (top surface), crown (upper part), pavilion (lower part), and girdle (outer edge). This meticulous faceting enhances the diamond’s ability to catch light and create scintillation, making the stone appear more vibrant and lively. The brilliant cut is popular for its exceptional sparkle and is considered a classic, expertly crafted shape for jewelry.
