Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds

Quite a lot of people love tradition

Quite a lot of people love tradition. Its as if the very history of something gives it more meaning and that is why, in the twenty first century, we are still bound by tradition. Its all around us in everything we do. When a man holds a door open for a lady, that is tradition. When children attend the same school that their parents did, that is tradition and, perhaps the most enduring tradition of them all, when a couple decide that they want to spend the rest of their lives together they decide to get married. That particular tradition gives rise to another the giving of an engagement ring. Giving a diamond ring has been a symbol of betrothal for centuries and the first recorded occasion of a diamond engagement ring dates back around five hundred years ago.

It is only right then, for those who love tradition, to consider round brilliant cut diamonds when deciding on the type of stone to have set in the engagement ring. It is by far the most popular shaped diamond accounting for 75 per cent of diamond sales. The way the round brilliant cut diamond is cut makes it much superior to fancy shapes and the 58 facets reflect the light properly for the maximum brightness. Generally, these diamonds are more expensive than the fancy shaped cuts, because more of the rough diamond is lost in the cutting process.

The round diamonds popularity began to rise just after the First World War following the publication of Marcel Tolkowskys thesis "Diamond Design: A Study of the Reflection and Refraction of Light in Diamond". In this thesis, Tolkowsky outlined the ideal proportions for a round cut diamond to get the best possible light return, or brilliance from it. OF course, diamond cutting techniques have been improved upon in the last hundred years and the advancement of diamond cutting technology, for example lasers, ensures that the maximum brilliance is obtained from round cuts.

If tradition is important to you, then you will find that the round cut diamond is the best choice for you. It may be a little more expensive than other cuts, but keeping with tradition is worth any extra outlay that might be incurred and the exquisite brilliance and dynamic fire that a brilliant cut diamond will give, shows that it is a very special diamond indeed, and well worthy of that very special person in your life.
