“Brilliant Lady 21, a new and innovative diamond cut, designed to maximise its brilliance. A theoretical study has been accomplished in the development of the Brilliant Lady 21 design, taking into consideration the optical properties of diamond such as light reflection and dispersion.”

The Brilliant Lady 21 is a round stone with 221 facets, 163 more than the classical brilliant cut. Facets produce reflection, a higher number of facets result in increased brilliance. Each facet is skilfully positioned to capture and disperse as much light as possible in order to impart more brilliance than any other known diamond cut.”

Apparently there is some debate as to the actual superiority of this manner of diamond cutting, standard diamonds usually having merely 58 facets. Some diamond manufacturers are claiming these intricately cut diamonds are more brilliant.
Diamonds are, if nothing else, a fertile source of inspiration and as through all recorded history, man will keep trying to perefect this amazing stone.
