Understanding Diamond Shapes
Diamond shape refers to the outline and overall appearance of a diamond when viewed from above. While "cut" describes how well a diamond's facets interact with light, "shape" refers to its geometric form. Each shape creates a different look on the finger and reflects light in its own unique way.
Round Brilliant
The most popular diamond shape, engineered for maximum brilliance. Its 57-58 facets are designed to reflect the most light possible.
Princess
A square or rectangular shape with pointed corners. The princess cut offers brilliant sparkle with a modern, geometric appeal.
Oval
An elongated shape that creates the illusion of a larger stone. Oval diamonds have a similar brilliance to rounds with a unique silhouette.
Heart
The ultimate symbol of love and romance. A modified brilliant-cut with a distinctive cleft at the top, requiring skilled craftsmanship to achieve symmetry.
Cushion
A square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, resembling a pillow. Known for its romantic, vintage appeal and soft sparkle.
Emerald
A rectangular shape with step-cut facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect. Emphasizes clarity with dramatic flashes of light.
Asscher
A square step-cut with a distinctive "X" pattern when viewed from above. Art Deco style with a mesmerizing depth.
Pear
A teardrop shape combining the brilliance of a round with a unique pointed end. Creates a slimming effect on the finger.
