What Makes a Diamond Sparkle?To have maximum sparkle and brilliance - to be considered fully faceted - a round brilliant diamond must have at least 58 surface planes (or "facets").
Don't be misled by a ring's stylish setting or the sheen of the gold - the whiteness of the diamonds should always be able to shine through.
Purity will also tell. Look for clear diamonds - prominent birthmarks will inhibit the brilliance.
A good diamond gives pleasure forever. Remember - she'll appreciate the difference better quality diamonds make.
