What makes the brilliant cut diamond so special in the world of jewelry?
The brilliant cut diamond stands as a masterpiece of light and precision, representing centuries of evolution in diamond cutting. Developed to perfection in Antwerp by Marcel Tolkowsky in 1919, this 58-facet round cut maximizes a diamond's natural brilliance through mathematical precision.
Unlike other diamond cuts, the brilliant commands 75% of the market share and the highest prices due to its unparalleled sparkle and ability to mask minor imperfections. The cutting process sacrifices nearly half the raw material, further enhancing its value.
Beyond its physical attributes, the brilliant cut has become synonymous with eternal love since De Beers' 1940s "diamonds are forever" campaign, making it the preferred choice for engagement rings.
