Round

The round brilliant cut is the most popular diamond shape, accounting for more than half of all diamonds sold today. Although developed in Europe, the round brilliant is sometimes referred to as the American Ideal Cut.

With 58 facets divided amongst its crown, girdle and pavilion and a typical ratio between 1.00 and 1.02, it yields maximum shine as the cut naturally follows the rough diamond crystal.

The round brilliant is the most researched cut in the industry; for over a century, diamond cutters have used advanced scientific theories of light reflection and precise mathematical calculations to optimize its fire and brilliance.
