A Diamond’s Brilliance Traditional Ideal Diamond Cut Comparison
In comparison to the Octagon Nova, typical Ideal (steep/deep) cut are
known to suffer under these diffused white light conditions where light
leakages are prominent, not just in face up but at tilted angles. The
most common effect that accompanies these steep / deep diamonds is
known as the ''ring of death''. These are light leakage areas where light
passes through the centre table of the diamond, where you see right
through it. Against the best of SIC 57 faceted Round Brilliants, the
Octagon Nova is capable of appearing 100% brighter, which masks a
diamond's true body color by up to 2-3 grades higher.
