When talking about the Solasfera diamond, we think of the 10 mains instead of the traditional 8 main facets.
We also know there is no blatant leakage.
The absence of leakage is not due to the amount of mains, but to the extra facets shown in picture below.
My question is: are there some diamonds cut with the same extra facets, but with only 8 mains and a total of 73 facets?
This way we could have a round brilliant without leakage, without cheated girdle...
But perhaps we would loose fire?
