The mixed brilliant cut combines techniques from traditional brilliant cuts and step cuts, each facet reflecting a multitude of colors from deep within the gemstone. This method is predicated on principles of geometry and optics, ensuring that light entering the gemstone returns to the viewer's eye with minimal loss, effectively enhancing the spinel's capacity to sparkle.
