Diamond Shape Guide
Explore the most popular diamond shapes and what makes each one distinct.
Round
The classic and most popular diamond shape, engineered with 58 facets to maximize brilliance and fire. Its symmetry gives it the highest overall light performance of any shape.
Princess
A square shape with sharp, uncut corners and a modern silhouette. It offers exceptional brilliance, second only to the round cut, at a more accessible price point.
Emerald
A rectangular shape with step-cut facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect. It prioritizes clarity and elegant, understated light play over sparkle.
Oval
An elongated variation of the round brilliant, offering similar fire and sparkle while creating a flattering, elongating effect on the finger.
Marquise
A boat-shaped diamond with pointed ends, prized for its elongated silhouette that maximizes perceived size and creates a dramatic, elegant look.
Pear
A hybrid of round and marquise shapes, tapering to a single point. Its teardrop silhouette is a versatile choice for rings, pendants, and earrings.
Cushion
A square or rectangular shape with rounded corners and larger facets, resembling a pillow. It combines vintage charm with modern brilliance.
Heart
A romantic, symmetrical shape requiring exceptional cutting precision to achieve well-defined lobes and a clean point at the base.
Tapered & Bugget
Elongated step-cut shapes most often used as accent stones, framing a center diamond with clean, geometric lines.
Trillion
A triangular shape with pointed corners, offering bold, distinctive geometry — striking as a solitaire or as a complement to a center stone.
