Round Brilliant Cut — Traditional 57-Facet Design
Timeless in form and refined through centuries of evolution, the round brilliant cut stands as a testament to the advancement of diamond artistry through deeper knowledge—shaped by a profound understanding of light itself. Featuring 57 precisely aligned facets, this iconic circular design evolved from earlier, less refined cuts with fewer facets and erroneous proportions. By the early 1900s, it had become a masterpiece of optical precision—crafted to reveal the most exceptional levels of brilliance, fire, and scintillation ever realized in a round diamond at that time.
Yet despite its origins in optical excellence, the round brilliant cut has not escaped compromise. In the pursuit of carat yield and mass production, many diamonds today are cut with reduced regard for proportion, symmetry, craftsmanship, and light performance. As a result, stones that truly embody the original intent of this light-flow architecture remain exceptionally rare in the modern marketplace.
At David S Diamonds, we are devoted to perfecting this historic design. Each of our 57-facet round brilliant diamonds is meticulously crafted to maximize light efficiency, optical symmetry, and visual artistry—bringing its full radiance to life. Beyond the GIA gemological identification report, we provide empirical proof of performance and optical quality, ensuring each diamond meets the most exacting standards of brilliance.
We honor not only the form, but the philosophy behind it: brilliance, fire, and sparkle, revealed exactly as they were always meant to be seen.
