Round
The Round brilliant cut (57 facets) is the most popular and classic diamond shape. It originated in Europe in the 17th century and was mathematically perfected in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky. The standard Round Brilliant features 57 facets — 33 on the crown and 24 on the pavilion — plus an optional 58th culet. Its precise proportions and symmetry are engineered to maximize brilliance, fire, and scintillation.
This cut reflects light better than any other shape, creating unmatched brilliance and enhancing perceived size. Due to high material loss during cutting (up to 50 – 60 %), Round diamonds are generally more expensive than other shapes.
Highly versatile, the Round brilliant is used in all types of jewelry. It’s the perfect choice for those who value timeless elegance, bright sparkle, and exceptional beauty.
