The Portuguese cut is one of the most intricate and brilliance-focused gemstone cuts available. Unlike the standard round brilliant cut with fifty-eight facets, a Portuguese cut typically features one hundred sixty-five or more facets.

These additional facets create:

• Exceptional fire and rainbow flashes
• Unmatched brilliance
• A deep, kaleidoscope-like sparkle

When paired with a colorless moissanite, the result is a stone that radiates intense light even in low illumination.
