[0009] It is preferred that the angle of said main pavilion facets with the girdle facets is 40.5-40.8°.

[0010] It is preferred that the angle between said main pavilion facet auxiliary surfaces with the girdle facets is 42-42.3°.

[0011] It is preferred that the angle between said main crown facets with the girdle facets is 34-35°.

[0012] It is preferred that the roundness of said diamond is 99-100%, the diamond height is 60.5% of the diamond diameter, the table facet diameter is 56-57% of the diamond diameter, the crown height is 14.5-15.5% of the diamond diameter, the girdle width is 2.5% of the diamond diameter, the pavilion height is 43.5-45% of the diamond diameter, the main pavilion facet angle is 40.5-40.8°, and the main crown facet angle is 34-35°.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: by cutting the diamond into eighty-one facets and having a ten hearts and ten arrows inner structure, not only endowing the diamond with higher quality and value by an advanced cutting technology, but also improving the brilliance of the diamond under sunlight, and its brilliance can be improved by 20-30%. When a diamond of this structure is viewed under a specialized magnifier, if viewed from the pavilion toward the crown, the "heart" effect is more obviously bright; if viewed from the crown toward the pavilion, there are numerous radial bright facets between the arrow shafts. The diamond of the present invention has more brilliance.
