Diamond Tutorial: What is a Facet?

Facet: The ‘facet’ is the part of the diamond that displays a smooth flat face upon the surface of the diamond. Facets allow the light to enter the diamond and then also to reflect off its surface. When reflected at different angles the effect is the creation of stunning color and light, the kind of light show that have made diamonds famous.
