Brilliant Cut diamond

The brilliant-cut diamond is recognizable by its faceting designed to enhance brilliance, fire, and scintillation. In its classic round shape, it has 57 or 58 facets and is one of the iconic cuts for the diamond engagement ring.

Balanced and luminous, the round brilliant-cut diamond adapts just as well to a solitaire as it does to more elaborate settings. The Maison Valérie Danenberg in Paris offers various handcrafted creations designed to place this cut at the center of the piece of jewelry.

The term round refers to the outer shape of the diamond, while brilliant cut describes the arrangement of its facets. The round brilliant diamond therefore combines a circular silhouette with a faceting designed to maximize its interaction with light.

At Valérie Danenberg, the selection takes into account both the gemological characteristics and the actual appearance of the diamond.

The choice of a round brilliant diamond is based on the 4Cs: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. For this shape, the cut quality plays a particularly important role in how the diamond reflects light.

In Paris, Maison Valérie Danenberg guides the selection of certified diamonds by seeking a balance between these criteria, the proportions of the stone, and its brilliance.

A brilliant-cut diamond can be enhanced by a solitaire, a side-stone setting, a halo, or a more graphic design. The choice depends on the prominence you want to give to the stone and the desired presence on the hand.

Palladium-plated white gold or platinum prolongs its light tones, while yellow gold creates more contrast and rose gold brings a softer nuance. The House of Valérie Danenberg allows these different combinations to be compared during the fitting.

The round brilliant favors a balanced silhouette and light distributed around the stone. For a more elongated line, it is possible to compare a marquise cut, while an emerald or radiant cut provides a more geometric aesthetic.

Comparing multiple shapes on the hand makes it possible to determine which proportions best match the desired style. Maison Valérie Danenberg guides this selection according to the setting and the engagement project.
