The diamond crown has a total of 33 faces. The diamond crown, also known as the upper end of the diamond, refers to the part from the waist of the diamond to the tabletop, mainly including 1 tabletop, 8 star faces, 8 kite faces, and 16 upper waist faces, totaling 33 facets.
How many facets do diamonds have in total
For example, a standard round diamond has 57 or 58 facets. The structure of a diamond is mainly divided into a crown and a pavilion. The crown has 33 facets and the pavilion has 24 facets, totaling 57 facets. The 58 facets are the result of grinding the bottom of the diamond into a flat surface based on the 57 facets. In addition, diamonds of different shapes have different facets, such as pear shaped diamonds with 58 facets, oval shaped diamonds with 56 facets, and heart-shaped diamonds with 59 facets.
Is it better to have more sections
1. The more facets a diamond has, the more it refracts light, but the cutting surface is not the standard for judging the quality of a diamond. The quality of diamonds is determined by the 4Cs, which are carat, color, clarity, and cut, with the cut surface being a part of the cut.
2. The more diamond facets there are, the greater the waste caused. Because diamonds are relatively rare, jewelers will choose suitable diamond cuts based on the shape and quality of the rough diamond, which can reduce unnecessary waste and maximize the value of diamonds.
