Brilliant Cut

A brilliant cut diamond is a type of diamond cut that maximizes the diamond's brilliance and fire by creating numerous facets to reflect and refract light. It is a round-shaped diamond cut that has 57 or 58 facets, including a table facet on the top and a culet facet on the bottom. The crown, or upper part of the diamond, has a series of triangular and kite-shaped facets, while the pavilion, or lower part of the diamond, has a series of triangular and lozenge-shaped facets. This intricate pattern of facets results in a diamond that sparkles and shines brilliantly, making it one of the most popular diamond cuts for engagement rings and other fine jewelry.
