A diamond or other gem of the finest cut, formed into faces and facets, so as to reflect and refract the light, by which it is rendered more brilliant. It has at the middle, or top, a principal face, called the <i>table</i>, which is surrounded by a number of sloping facets forming a <i>bizet</i>; below, it has a small face or <i>collet</i>, parallel to the table, connected with the <i>girdle</i> by a <i>pavilion</i> of elongated facets. It is thus distinguished from the <i>rose</i> diamond, which is entirely covered with facets on the surface, and is flat below.
