The 99-facet diamond is a meticulously crafted diamond with 99 refractive facets, enhancing its light reflection and brilliance compared to the traditional 57-facet standard. It symbolizes perfection and eternal love, requiring extremely skilled cutting techniques from master artisans.
In this article, experts from Jemmia Diamond will help you explore the differences in sparkle, feng shui significance, and market value of this special 99-facet diamond line.
What is a 99-facet diamond?
A 99-facet diamond is crafted with 99 facets that refract light, instead of the 57 or 58 facets found in the traditional Round Brilliant cut. The increased number of facets gives the diamond superior sparkle and dispersion due to the following factors:
- Optimized Reflection: The 99 facets eliminate "dark spots," ensuring light continuously circulates and reflects within the stone.
- Kaleidoscope Effect: Numerous facets break down light rays, creating a powerful rainbow of colors (Fire) even in low light conditions.
- Exquisite Craftsmanship: Requires highly skilled artisans to calculate precise proportions, ensuring the diamond's table achieves maximum light absorption.

Gifting a 99-facet diamond ring is not just a material gift but also a vow of an eternal relationship. This is why this diamond line is a top choice for couples seeking engagement rings or wedding bands at Jemmia.

How much does a 99-facet diamond cost?

| Influencing Factor | Characteristics of the 99-facet type |
| Cut Value | More expensive due to extremely difficult and time-consuming crafting techniques. |
| Rarity | High, typically only found in high-end jewelry lines. |

- Check GIA Certificate: Ensure the stone has a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America to verify its technical specifications.
