When light enters a #diamond, it follows a complex pattern of pathways as it bounces off the diamond’s interior surfaces.

#Brilliance – The brightness created by the combination of all the white light reflections from the surface and the inside of a polished diamond.

#Fire – The flashes of color you see in a polished diamond.

#Scintillation – The flashes of light and the contrasting dark areas you see when the diamond, the light, or the observer moves.
