Only halfway through the 17th century can we mention the first brilliants. These 'Mazarins' had 17 facets at the top, also known as the crown. Venetian cutter Vincent Peruzzi added 16 facets and named the Peruzzi brilliant with 33 facets after himself. At the time, they had not yet mastered the technique of cutting round stones. The first brilliants were therefore rounded squares or rectangles.
Marcel Tolkowsky perfected cutting round diamonds with 58 facets
