The brilliant round cut, the most popular of all cuts especially for diamonds, is almost 100 years old. It was carefully calculated by a diamond cutter by the name of Tolkowsky in 1919, and has since become the most popular cut for engagement rings worldwide.

Shape: round when viewed from above, cone shape from the side.

Facets: 58

Style: classical

Cut grading: The excellent grade brilliant round cut will be not too shallow or too tall. To reflect all light back through the diamond, rather than out the sides, the height needs to be perfect. When achieved, the brilliance of the “brilliant” round cut is truly phenomenal. It is the best gemstone cut for diamonds and moissanite in terms of brilliance, fire and sparkle.

Hearts and Arrows: In some instances a diamond that has its facets precisely cut and has excellent symmetry can showcase patterns that look like hearts and arrows, here at Lily Arkwright we stock Charles & Colvard brilliant round Hearts and Arrows in a wide variety of brilliant round cuts, these can be used in any of our collections, just get in touch and ask for details.

Brilliant round cut moissanite stone is very adaptable in terms of style and matching precious metals. The above brilliant round cut ruby engagement ring, for example, has quite a classical style to it. In contrast, this Charles and Colvard Forever One platinum moissanite engagement ring has a very modern design, looping around the brilliant round cut stone.

Compare the brilliant round cut moissanite in our rose gold stud earrings with the yellow gold stud earrings – the gemstone is effortlessly flattered by both metals.
