A round brilliant cut diamond typically has 57 or 58 facets. These facets are strategically arranged to maximize the diamond's brilliance and fire, with 33 on the crown (the top part) and 25 on the pavilion (the bottom part). The additional facet is found on the culet, the small area at the diamond's bottom. The precise cutting and arrangement of these facets are crucial for enhancing the diamond's ability to reflect and refract light. Learn more about diamond shapes here.
