Different Diamond Cuts and Shapes

Diamonds come in a variety of shapes, sizes and cuts. The shape of a diamond is determined by the type of cut that is used to create it. Each diamond cut is unique and gives the stone its own individual beauty and sparkle. The most popular diamond cuts are Round, Emerald, Princess, Cushion and Oval, but there are many more.

  • Round Cut Diamonds - Round cut diamonds are the most popular and classic diamond shape, classic and timeless, and can be cut to produce the most sparkle. They are also one of the most versatile shapes and can be used in a variety of jewellery designs, and are typically less expensive than other diamond shapes, making them the best choice for those on a budget. Overall, they offer versatility, affordability and maximum sparkle.

  • Emerald Cut Diamonds - The emerald cut diamond has a unique rectangular shape with cropped corners. This type of diamond is known for its elegant and sophisticated look.
