The most popular diamond shape on the market and known for its brilliance, the round-brilliant cut showcases 58 different facets of a gemstone and is cut to maximize its brilliance. It is also popular for other transparent gemstones, accounting for over 75% of the gemstones sold today. Anything that is not a round cut is called a fancy cut. The cut was originally introduced at the end of the 17th century and evolved over time to its present form, which originated in the early 1900s. The round-brilliant cut also has a high degree of fire.
