A Diamond with 221 Facets. Holy Cow!

Holy Cow! is right Mr. Phil Rizzuto!


The standard round brilliant diamond shape has 58 facets as outlined in the graph below.

A skilled diamond cutter will align these 58 facets in such a way so as to maximize the amount and intensity of light that is refracted back to the viewers eye.


In recent years several diamond manufacturers have sought to market and brand their diamonds as a cut above the competition by dividing and cutting the diamond rough into more facets.


Diamonds with 66, 88, and 129 facets have hit the market. Are these diamonds "better", "flashier", bling-blingier than the 58 facet version?


Reviews have been mixed.


Now comes word that an Antwerp Diamond Cutter has patented and is manufacturing a diamond with 221 facets! It is called the "Brilliant Lady 21".


Their website is here: Brilliant Lady Diamond

The Brilliant Lady Diamond


Is this 221 facet diamond sparklier and more beautiful than a diamond that only has 58 facets?

Good question.


The answer is that only you, The Consumer, can decide by looking at this diamond and comparing it to a beautifully cut 58 facet round brilliant shaped stone.


"A Diamond Is Forever" is a great marketing slogan and true but a diamonds beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

I kinda like this blog. For a while, I have been making an attempt to create one something like this as nicely, however I'm not computer gifted on the way to do it.I kinda like this blog. For some time, I have been attempting to create one something like this as well, however I'm not computer gifted on the way to do it.

Well written blog, well researched and useable for me in the future. I am so delightful you took the time and effort to write this page. Will be back shortly to read more about this matter.

What i find a rare occurence is to discover a page that can capture my focus for a time but you definitely add value. Keep it like this.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Good blog post. You surely know what you are discussing about here. I am so glad I was able to discover your website. I look to see more great writing from you. Keep up the awesome work

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

You made various fine points there. I did a search on the matter and found most people will agree with your blog.

One of the most advantageous sites I have located for information within this definite niche market. I'll be coming back continually for new articles.

Been reading this site for a few days now. It was very good and specific facts. BTW, I enjoy your blog design as well. I liked reading it and hopefully you will write more in a few days. Do you have a newsletter?

The suggestions you contributed here are quite valuable. It absolutely was such a fun surprise to see that waiting for me once i woke up now. They are constantly to the point as well as simple to interpret. Thank you so much for the valuable ideas you've shared in this article.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues.Great stuff as usual.

I dont genuinely know what youre talking about here. This cant be the only approach to feel about this can it? It seems like you know a whole lot about the subject, so why not explore it much more? Make it far more accessible to everyone else who might not agree with you? Youd get a whole lot more people behind this in case you just stopped producing general statements.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
