This diamond shape has set the standard for all other diamond shapes, and accounts for more than 75% of diamonds sold today. Round Diamonds are also popular for stud earrings and pendants. The Round Brilliant Cut Diamond is the most brilliant of all the diamond shapes. You may have heard of a term called "Excellent Cut". This term refers to the ability of a diamond to reflect light and sparkle. Achieving an Excellent Cut is very difficult and requires a great deal of skill on the part of the diamond cutter. As a result, Excellent Cut diamonds are generally more expensive than diamonds with a lower quality cut. However, even diamonds with a lower quality cut can still be very beautiful.
