Ring
 
brillant [bril‘jant]
1. a special cut diamond, which is characterized by strong refraction and sparkling shine.
2. the term „brilliant“ without addition relate only to the round diamonds in a brilliant cut.
3. features: circular girdle, at least 32 facets and a plate in the upper part, at least 24 facets (sometimes a culet) in the lower part.
Facets of the tolkowsky-brilliant (1919) The brilliant-cut by marcel tolkowsky stands for a very good luminance efficacy and the very best sparkle. In the u.s. his finish is the basis of the cut-classification.
The foundation of my series „brilliant“ are the individual facets of the tolkowsky brilliant-cut. i capture the facets formal into my grid structure. Depending on the angle you can see the brilliant cut. I design my forms in a 3d program, which are afterwards 3d printed. Aspects such as the hardness and sparkle of diamonds play a role in further consequences. Therefore, i have selected steel as the base material to manifest approximately the hardness of diamonds. The sparkle retrieve in the packaging of the jewelry in terms of the mirror-polished stainless steel.
