Brilliance:
Also referred to as Fire. The light that has entered the diamond through the crown and is divided into white and colored light, from bouncing off the diamond’s facets, and exits back through the crown creating what’s called sparkle.

The effect of brilliance is a combination of cut and proper proportions.
