For instance, many people fancy a
marquise diamond ring for its
unique shape. Creating one entails cutting numerous
facet in order to accommodate that
shape in the
gemstone. Skilled cutters cut
facets at varying angles, to form a
shape that provides the best
brilliance.
If a
diamond has several
facets that are
cut at an ideal angle, the better will be its
brilliance. A
round brilliant diamond has fifty-seven
facets, so its light performance outshines that of a fancy shaped
diamond, such as one with
marquise cut. Thus, it is unreasonable to expect the same kind of
brilliance in the latter, but not in a
classic diamond rings round cut.
A
round brilliant diamond is the most common center
stone in
engagement rings.
Although such
stones do feature in
rings with
solitaire settings, you can get these with small accent
diamonds from the market. Obviously, non-
round diamonds would not have the full
cut diamond’s brilliance. Henceforth, they usually are not as expensive as those featuring a
round shaped diamond centerpiece.
