There are countless different diamond-cuts/shapes in the market, but to help you, I have highlighted only some the popular diamond cuts; read through it and select the one that will be simply perfect for that special person in your life!

The Round Brilliant-Cut:

This is a classic, popular shape for diamond engagement ring. With 57 facets, this diamond cut sparkles with brilliance and fire – something you will not find in any other diamond shape.

The Emerald-Cut:

If you are looking for an elegant and timeless appearance, the Emerald-Cut is your ideal choice. The traditional emerald cut is rectangular in shape. It’s not a brilliant cut, but called a step cut.

The Princess-Cut:

The Princess-Cut is the perfect solution if you’re looking for something that’s contemporary. It is the second most sought-after diamond shape. These diamonds are slightly rectangular or completely square in shape with an array of elaborate facets and pointed corners that add to the diamond’s already existing sparkle.

The Marquise Shape:

It is highly dramatic in appearance as it features tapered points and a brilliant cut on its two ends. It makes your finger appear slender and elongated. Moreover, it maximizes the carat weight, making the diamond appear larger than a round-diamond having similar carat weight.

The Radiant-Cut:

This diamond shape is appealing to those who are looking for an exclusive appearance. The cut, in this shape, combines the round-cut’s sparkling brilliance with the emerald-cut’s geometrical lines. The signature characteristic of this shape is its trimmed corners.

The Fancy-Shaped Heart Diamond:

This shape is ideal for the woman of today. It is rarely chosen for engagement rings. It is more popularly used for pendants and is available in colors like red, yellow or pink.

The Oval Shape:

It’s usually preferred by those who love all things classic but with an edge. The shape’s similar to the classic round, but its brilliance is exquisite than the former. Its elongated shape not only adds interesting twist to the ring but also adds that slender and graceful look to one’s hands.
