Brilliant Lady 21, How Many Facets Can Fit On One Diamond?
The last time I got all mystified by a diamond cut it was the Movado cut which has 114 facets, now Diamond Vues points out the Brilliant Lady 21 which has a full 221 facets. Compare this with the standard round brilliant cut of 57 or 58 facets. The diamond is being designed and polished near Antwerp and is certified and laser inscribed. The Brilliant Lady 21 is designed to heighten light reflection and dispersion. The folks behind Brilliant Lady 21 say that "facets produce reflection, a higher number of facets result in increased brilliance." When I checked out the Movado diamond I noticed that while it was sparklier but brilliance is just one of the factors that constitute a diamond's charms.
