All You Need to Know About round cut diamond
A round brilliant cut diamond is a specific form of diamond cut that features 58 facets to create a reflection within the diamond shape. A facet on a diamond is an individual plane on the diamond's surface, which helps create a sparkle and allows it to shine in the light. The round brilliant cut is one of the most popular shapes for engagement rings due to its symmetrical shape, beautiful curvature and ability to reflect light beautifully. Symmetrical cut, round brilliant cut, and round shaped diamonds are all the same.
What Sets a round-cut ring apart?
When referring to raw gemstones, these are rough stones that have not undergone any treatment after being found. At this stage, rough diamonds are referred to as balas diamonds, which are often used in the industry due to their symmetrical shape. However, unlike other rough diamonds, balas diamonds cannot be cut and must be polished, increasing their value. Diamonds in jewelry have already been cut and polished to give them their unique shape.
