The magic of this spinel is most evident in its geometric faceting, a mixed brilliant scheme that marries the scintillating fire of brilliant facets with the color maximizing principles of step and pavilion geometry, to create maximum light play, maximum return, and a lively personality from every angle.

The oval outline further contributes to dynamic optics, elongating the table and allowing a broader field for scintillation, while the pavilion angles have been calculated to minimize light leakage and to promote a bright, active face up appearance. The excellent polish enhances facet contrast, producing crisp facet junctions that translate into sharp pinpoints of brilliance and broad flashes of color, a balance that only a high quality mixed brilliant cut can achieve for a colored gemstone with this level of saturation.
