Because of the extra facetting, and the effects it produces with light, (because of the precise intricate cut), Round Brilliant cut diamonds are more brilliant and sparkly than ordinary square diamonds. The process in cutting the Round Brilliant Cut Diamond is a big improvement over the previous steps that used to be used to cut diamonds. Round Brilliant Cut diamonds are more brilliant and clearer them most other diamonds.

Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds Have More Sparkle
In the early 1900's, Marcel Tolkowsky, calculated the cuts necessary to create the ideal diamond shape, which is now know as the Round Brilliant Cut. As part of his PhD thesis in mathematics, Mark Tolkowsky considered variables such as index of refraction of the diamond and covalent bond angles to create the perfect diamond cut for brilliance and clarity. A large table (over 64%) can really kill the diamond's beauty, and a stone or diamond which it too shallow will not sparkle as well as one that is cut right. AGS defines " Ideal Cut" as a range of Table diameters between 53-57%, Crown Angles at 34-35%, Crown Height at 15-16.5%, Girdle Thickness at Thin to Medium, Pavilion Angle of 41% with the Pavilion depth at 43-43.5%.

We' are talking perfect alignment of the crown and pavilion facets, strict symmetry of the diamond, and a mirror like finish or polish. If the person who cuts the diamond keeps the table size in the mid-fifties and depth between 58-62% you will have a fantastic beautiful diamond, with a quality look. With GIA certificates and reports you are able to completely qualify the diamond you are considering buying from us.
