brilliants

Faceted precious stones

Brilliants are diamonds or other gemstones cut in a particular way to maximize light reflection—the classic diamond shape with a flat top, pointed bottom, and many angled facets.

The cut creates the sparkle associated with fine jewelry.

A brilliant can also refer to a small size of printing type.
