Diamonds come in a dazzling array of shapes, each with its own unique charm and characteristics. From the classic round brilliant cut, known for its exceptional sparkle and timeless appeal, to the sophisticated and elegant emerald cut, there is a diamond shape to suit every preference and personality. Heart-shaped diamonds convey romance and sentiment, while marquise cuts create an illusion of length and slenderness. Pear-shaped diamonds combine the best of both round and marquise cuts, offering a blend of grace and modernity. Our selection ensures that you find the perfect diamond that not only matches your aesthetic preferences but also meets the highest standards of quality.

Round Cut Diamonds

The Round Diamond, or Brilliant Cut Diamond, is by far the most popular shape for diamond engagement rings. It is cone-shaped to maximize light return through the top of the diamond. It is cut to have 58 facets: 33 on the crown and 25 on the pavilion. The relationship between the angle of the crown (above the girdle) and the pavilion (below the girdle) is complementary. A steep crown angle is complemented by a shallower pavilion angle, and vice versa.

Oval Cut Diamonds

The Oval Cut Diamond is a modified version of the most popular cut, the Round Brilliant. It is the perfect choice for buyers who are looking for characteristics similar to the Round “Ideal” Cut, but would like something in a shape that is more unusual. Oval Cut diamonds also create the optical illusion of length and serve to elegantly elongate fingers.

Cusion Cut Diamonds

The Cushion Cut Diamond, with its antique origins, offers a classic and romantic allure. It is often seen as a fusion of the Old Mine Cut—beloved in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—and the contemporary Oval-Cut Diamond. The Old Mine Cut was characterized by its large facets and rounded edges, designed to reflect the soft light of candlelit environments. Today’s Cushion-Cut Diamond features 58 facets that continue to showcase a timeless beauty and elegance.

Elongated Cusion Cut Diamonds

The Elongated Cushion Cut Diamond offers a refined take on the traditional Cushion Cut, merging timeless elegance with a modern aesthetic. Inspired by the Old Mine Cut’s design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which featured large facets and rounded corners to capture the beauty of candlelight, the Elongated Cushion Cut extends this classic look into a sleek, rectangular form. With 58 facets, it combines historical charm with a contemporary grace, creating a stunning and sophisticated brilliance.

Emerald Cut Diamonds

The Emerald-Cut Diamond is a very popular style known for its beauty and precision. While it lacks the brilliance of diamonds cut with triangular and kite-shaped facets, it more than makes up for it in its extreme clarity – it’s like looking into glacier-pure ice. The Emerald-Cut diamond is named so because this style of cut was originally used only on emeralds. It is called a step-cut, which is the cut most commonly used on square or rectangular diamonds.

Assher Cut Diamonds

The Oval Cut Diamond is a modified version of the most popular cut, the Round Brilliant. It is the perfect choice for buyers who are looking for characteristics similar to the Round “Ideal” Cut, but would like something in a shape that is more unusual. Oval Cut diamonds also create the optical illusion of length and serve to elegantly elongate fingers.

Elongated Radiant Cut Diamonds

The Elongated Radiant Cut Diamond redefines the classic diamond shape with its innovative and elegant design. This cut features a distinctive rectangular silhouette that extends the traditional Radiant Cut into a more contemporary and sophisticated form. While the original Radiant Cut combined elements of the Round Cut and Emerald Cut to achieve a brilliant sparkle, the Elongated Radiant enhances this concept with its longer, more refined proportions. The diamond’s unique facet arrangement creates a stunning play of light, offering a blend of modern beauty and timeless appeal. This cut is perfect for those who appreciate a striking and sophisticated twist on classic diamond designs.

Radiant Cut Diamonds

The Radiant Cut Diamond combines the more stylish square or rectangular shape with the brilliance of the more traditional Round Cut. It combines two diamond cutting styles-the Round Cut style and the Emerald Cut style, to create a non-traditional, yet still brilliant, diamond. This cut, created in 1977 by Henry Grossbard, was designed to maintain the beauty of each different type of diamond, while still creating something altogether different from anything available at the time.

Princess Cut Diamonds

The Princess cut diamonds can make the perfect engagement rings since they are very clear. Their exquisite shape makes them an exotic treasure, as they are designed for getting top brilliance from their square cut. When purchasing a Princess Cut diamond, make sure that the setting for your ring protects the four pointed corners. The Princess Cut diamond allows more acceptably for flaws.

Pear Cut Diamonds

The Pear Shaped Diamond combines the tradition and brilliance of a round cut with a less common shape to create an unusual diamond that can still make light ‘dance’ as it does in the traditional Round Brilliant Cut. It is probably the most subjective diamond shape, as its size and proportions are really a matter of taste. The diamond usually contains 58 facets, allowing for light to pass through it much the same way as in a Round, but makes more of an impression because of its much less common shape.

Marquise Cut diamonds

The Marquise-Cut Diamond is a boat-shaped brilliant stone that is considered to be a “classic” shape for diamond engagement rings. As with all ‘fancy cut’ diamonds, color and clarity are the two most important qualities in this particular style of cut. The Marquise-Cut Diamond uses a cutting process similar to that of a Round Brilliant Diamond, but the diamond cutter maximizes the carat weight of the gem by elongating it into its distinctive ”boat-shape”. This way, they can eliminate all inclusions while maintaining as much of the unblemished stone as possible. However, because of the elongated shape, color and clarity imperfections are more obvious than they are in a traditional Round Brilliant Diamonds.
