Shimansky introduces Brilliant 10™ diamond

Shimansky, South Africa’s premier platinum and diamond jeweller has introduced a diamond named Brilliant 10™ diamond, designed and patented by Yair Shimansky. The name of the diamond explains its uniqueness of being the most brilliant cut diamond in the world, that which beholds perfect brilliance.

Research in specific diamond light behavior and optic dispersion has lent this diamond a character in which each facet is shaped such that it reveals a perfect 10 arrow pattern when viewed from above and a perfect 10 heart pattern when viewed from below through the Ideal Scope. The positioning of its 71 facets determines its unique brilliance. Only a limited number of rough diamonds are suitable to be polished into the Brilliant 10™.

The cutting and polishing of the Brilliant 10™ has involved advanced technical skill and takes three times longer. The diamond goes through no less than 25 check points before leaving the factory.

CEO, Yair Shimansky said, “While a normal round brilliant cut diamond can have up to 25 percent leakage, there is 0 percent leakage from the Brilliant 10.”He further adds, The essence of this patented cut is its ability to reflect light that enters the diamond back through the table and the crown alike. The result is a diamond that reflects light with intensity second to none. “This means the Brilliant 10™ diamond displays up to 25% more brilliance than a normal diamond and is up to two shades whiter in colour than its actual colour,” explains Shimansky.
