The Ideal Brilliant Cut and Illumination Contrast
Three Ideal Round Brilliants
The moment you see the Ideal Brilliant, you understand why we care. We are diving into the optics of pure dazzle. Our subject is the round brilliant cut in both diamonds, and in other gemstones with different refractive indices. The Ideal round brilliant has been the benchmark of diamond beauty for over a century. It’s revered for its brilliance, its fire, and that incredible sparkle we call scintillation.
We are bridging a century of hands-on cutting wisdom with contemporary optical science through the framework of illumination contrast and the gem’s “spectral reflection pattern.”
