There are diamonds, and then there is the Royal 201. With an impressive 201 facets, this diamond belongs to a class of its own. For decades, the traditional brilliant cut with 57 facets was considered the standard, but the Royal 201 redefines what brilliance truly means. It is the most sparkling diamond in the world and is available exclusively at Royal Coster Diamonds. The oldest still operating diamond polishing factory.
For centuries, diamond polishers have pursued perfection. While the brilliant cut set the benchmark for years, the Royal 201 takes it to the next level. Thanks to an innovative interplay of proportions, cutting angles, and micro-facets on the girdle, this diamond reflects light with an intensity never seen before. The result is a level of fire and brilliance that simply cannot be compared to traditional cuts.
The Royal 201 was developed in 2007 by Donny Griffioen, CPO, and Bobby Low. “One might assume that more facets automatically lead to more sparkle, but that is not how it works,” says Griffioen. “It is all about balance. 201 is not just a number. It is the ideal number of facets for maximum light reflection. You see it instantly when you compare the Royal 201 to any other diamond.”
To allow the Royal 201 to shine in all its glory, Royal Coster Diamonds designed an exclusive setting: the Signature C-setting. This unique design allows the diamond to appear as if it is floating, enabling light to enter from every angle and reflect beautifully. The Signature C-setting is available in rings, earrings, and necklaces.
Polishing a Royal 201 is a process that demands extraordinary precision. Over 60 percent of the rough diamond is sacrificed to achieve the final result. Only a handful of diamond polishers at Royal Coster Diamonds master this technique, making each Royal 201 a rare expression of true craftsmanship.
