The round brilliant cut has 57 or 58 facets, each one calculated to maximize how light enters the stone, reflects internally, and exits through the top. It is the most precisely engineered diamond cut in existence, which is why it has remained the most popular for over a century. When a round brilliant diamond is cut well, it produces a level of brightness and fire that no other shape matches.
Every necklace in this collection features round brilliant cut conflict-free diamonds set in solid 14k gold. The cut quality is what we select for first, because a well-cut round brilliant in a simple setting will always outperform a larger stone with a mediocre cut. The settings here are designed to let light reach the diamond from every angle, whether prong, bezel, or floating.
