54–58%
Max fire: 55–57%
59–62.5% 34–35° 40.6–41° 1.00 Maximum brilliance + fire. Least tolerance for proportion deviation.
Oval 53–63% 58–62% — — 1.30–1.50 High brilliance. Watch for bowtie shadow in elongated stones.
Cushion 61–67% 61–67% — — 1.00–1.10 Highest fire of all brilliant cuts. Larger coloured flashes.

Pear 53–65% 58–62% — — 1.45–1.75 Good brilliance. Bowtie risk. Pointed tip needs prong protection.
Emerald 60–68% 61–67% — — 1.30–1.50 Step cut: large white-light flashes, not coloured fire. Demands higher clarity.
Marquise 53–63% 58–62% — — 1.75–2.15 Most bowtie-susceptible shape. Both tips need protective prongs.
