What are Brilliant Cut Diamonds?

Brilliant Cut Diamonds are Diamonds that have a faceted top culminating in a pointed bottom. In the jewellery industry these are known as the Table, crown, girdle, pavilion and cutlet. Brilliant Diamonds are multi-faceted, in total 58 facets. The more facets or cuts a Diamond has lends it the ability to absorb and dispel light or refract light in all directions. 

Why Brilliant Cuts are considered the Most Important or popular Diamond Cut?

In short, thank De Beers and also Marilyn Monroe. In the 1800’s De Beers started an extensive campaign to market Diamond engagement rings as a staple for engagements. Soon it turned into a strict tradition of mainly the man offering up a diamond in exchange for potential matrimonial commitment. Apart from engagement rings, Diamonds, mainly brilliant cuts are sold as jewellery sets of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and other sorts during festive occasions that dominate gift giving like Christmas, Valentine’s Day and other occasions like anniversaries, birthdays and weddings.
