Brilliant is the most popular cut shape for
diamonds. The
shape
resembles that of a cone
and is
meant to
maximize light return
through the top
of the
diamond.
Even
with
modern
techniques, the
cutting and
polishing of a
diamond crystal always
results
in a dramatic
loss of
weight; rarely is it less
than 50%.
The round brilliant cut
is preferred when
the
crystal is an
octahedron,
as
often two
stones
may be cut
from one such crystal. Oddly
shaped
crystals
such as macles are
more
likely to be cut in a fancy
cut-that is, a cut other than
the round
brilliant-which the
particular crystal
shape
lends
itself
to.
The
brilliant cut was
introduced
in the
middle of
the 17th century. The
first
brilliants were known as
Mazarins. They had seventeen
facets on the
crown
(upper half) and are
called
double-cut
brilliants.
Vincent
Peruzzi, a Venetian
polisher, increased
the
number of
crown
facets
from 17 to
33 (triple-cut
brilliants), thereby
dramatically increasing the fire and
brilliance of
the
cut gem -
already much better
in
the
double-cut brilliant
than in the
rose cut. When
seen
today,
diamonds of
that cut seem
quite
dull compared to
modern-cut ones.
Around 1900, the development of
diamond
saws and good jewellery
lathes enabled
the development
of modern
diamond
cuts,
chief
among them
the round brilliant cut. In 1919,
Marcel
Tolkowsky
analyzed
this cut. His calculations
took both
brilliance (the amount
of white light
reflected) and fire
(flashes of spectral colours) into
consideration,
creating
a
delicate balance
between the
two.
His geometric
calculations can
be
found in
his book on
Diamond Design.
