Round Brilliant Cut
- In the year 1919, a diamond-cutter from Belgium named Marcel Tolkowsky, developed the round brilliant cut.
- To this day, this remains the most popular cut, since the rough diamond that is cut in this manner has the maximum sparkle and brilliance.
- The round brilliant cut proves to be most beneficial when the rough crystal is an 'octahedron'. In this case, two stones can be cut from a single crystal, thus minimizing the amount of wastage.
- There are generally 58 facets in a Round Brilliant Cut, which includes the culet.
- Round Brilliant Cuts are perhaps the most versatile of all the shapes since they can be used in a wide variety of jewelry styles.
- Round Brilliant Cuts are also some of the most expensive cuts, and with good reason. It is possible to retain more of the weight from a rough diamond, if it is cut into a fancy shape, rather than a round brilliant cut.
- The 'Ideal Cut', as it is popularly known, is nothing but an attempt to cut a diamond into a round brilliant cut, so that it can have the maximum possible sparkle, fire and brilliance.
