The Round Brilliant cut diamond is a popular choice, making up about 75% of all diamond sales according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Invented in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky, this diamond cut features 57 facets in a round shape, designed to maximize sparkle and beauty.

Tolkowsky spent years researching and calculating the perfect cut to achieve an amazing level of sparkle. When choosing a round brilliant diamond, look for one with an "excellent" cut grade. At Ajediam, we like our diamonds to have a table ratio between 58% and 63%.
