What is Diamond Culet?
In the standard round brilliant there are typically 57 or 58 facets. The table facet, which is usually the largest facet on the diamond, plays a crucial role in gathering light from above and reflecting it back to the observer or directing it into the diamond's interior. Meanwhile, the crown facets (made up of 8 bezels, 8 stars, and 16 upper halves) work to gather and disperse light, creating a stunning pattern of brightness, fire, and scintillation. Lastly, the pavilion facets (consisting of 16 lower halves, 8 mains, and an optional culet) reflect the light back through the crown to the viewer's eye. All these facets work together to give each diamond its unique appearance.
