Round Brilliant Diamonds

The Round Brilliant Cut diamond is the most popular cut by far. At DiamondExchange Ltd we offer a large selection of Round Brilliant Cut diamonds at prices to suit your budget. The sparkle and brilliance of a perfectly balanced Round Brilliant Cut allows the facets to reflect the maximum potential of light dispersion - the ‘fire’ and beauty of this precision-cut diamond is magnificent. DiamondExchange Ltd has a large selection of DiamondExchange Ltd engagement rings to suit Round Brilliant Cut diamonds. Generally, a Round Brilliant Cut diamond has 58 facets, cut in two pyramids base to base. Girdles are (mostly) faceted. The polish and symmetry of the Round Brilliant Cut is very important – ‘polish’ indicates the smoothness of the diamond's facets and ‘symmetry’ indicates how the facets are aligned. If the polish is sub-standard, the facet surfaces will be dull. If the symmetry is sub-standard, the light flowing in and out of the diamond will be poorly directed. The Hearts & Arrows phenomenon describes a diamond that shows patterns in the form of hearts and arrows when looked at under a gemscope. This is when the top (table) facet is exactly perpendicular to the bottom (pavilion) of the diamond and all other facets are perfectly aligned. This is considered a ‘top-tier’ cut.
