Well awktshualy...the definition says reflect, and while diamonds reflect internally, they refract light externally, so, the diamond is not bright because it reflects (those reflections are on the inside) they shine because they refract

Well awktshualy, read the whole definition entry. Pendants are always so eager to ignore lay meanings.
