Diamond Shapes

Shape is the outline of a diamond seen from above, and it sets the character of a piece more than any grade. Here is how the most popular shapes look and wear.

Round Brilliant

The most brilliant cut, with 57–58 facets engineered for sparkle. Timeless and the most popular engagement shape.

Oval

Brilliant like a round, but elongated, so it looks larger per carat and flatters the finger.

Pear

A teardrop that combines round and marquise. Worn point toward the fingertip, it lengthens the hand.

Emerald

A step cut with long, open facets that show a hall-of-mirrors effect. Favours high clarity.

Cushion

A softened square with rounded corners and large facets for a romantic, vintage glow.

Princess

A crisp square brilliant with pointed corners. Modern, bright and efficient per carat.

Marquise

A long, boat-shaped brilliant that maximises face-up size and elongates the finger.

Asscher

A square step cut with cropped corners and an Art Deco, windmill-like pattern.

Radiant

The brilliance of a round in a rectangular outline with trimmed corners.

Heart

A brilliant cut shaped as a heart; best in larger sizes where the outline reads clearly.
