German term or phrase: das Feuer zur Geltung zu bringen
Farbige Diamanten werden übrigens auch „fancy diamonds“ genannt – und es gibt sie in vielen hübschen Farben, wie Kanariengelb, Braun, Blau, Grün, Rot, Pink und Rosa. Natürlich auch im klassischen Schliff eines Diamanten, dem Brillantschliff. Allerdings entscheidet vor allem die Struktur des Steins über seine ideale Form. Baguette- oder Tropfenschliff *bringen das „Feuer“größerer Steine manchmal noch viel besser zur Geltung*.

I guess that "das Feuer zur Geltung zu bringen" means "to bring out the fire" (in a gemstone). So am I right in thinking that big diamonds are more radiant if they have a baguette cut and or a drop cut? i.e. these 2 types of diamond cuts (the baguette and the drop one) "bring out the fire" in the bigger stones better than other types of diamond cuts?

Thanks a lot in advance for your expert opinion!

Sorry, it should be "fiery", not "firey".
