The way a diamond
handles the light, and its individual sparkle, is called its fire or
brilliance. This brilliance and fire can be scientifically measured
and defined. The closer to mathematical perfection the cut, the better
the fire. Think of these facets as tiny mirrors positioned so as to
reflect light back and forth to each other—then out the top of the
diamond. Good cut, good sparkle, and fire is the result. In a badly
cut diamond, the facets do not line up properly to reflect the fire
and sparkle out the top of the diamond—a lifeless diamond.
