Most women choose round diamonds for their abundance, but sometimes it is possible to choose fancy shapes such as Princess cut (square), Cushion cut (square with rounded edges), Oval, Pear, Radiant or Emerald cut (rectangular), or Marquise (boat-shaped).
As the center diamond of an engagement ring is the first thing that catches the eye, it is recommended to choose a diamond that suits your personality and style. The center diamond determines the brilliance and overall appearance of the engagement ring.
Round, or brilliant, cut is the most common and sparkling shape for a diamond. To make a round diamond sparkle, 52 facets are cut, which are designed to enhance the diamond's brilliance, creating a small rainbow when light hits it. The more facets a diamond has, the more it sparkles. This classic shape is ideal for those who desire the most brilliant diamond.
The modern-style princess cut, or square cut, has over 50 chevron-shaped facets. This diamond cut was first created in 1980 and is the most popular among uniquely shaped diamond forms. This shape is a design that perfectly complements any type of wedding ring a bride might wear.
The **emerald** or rectangular-cut diamond is considered to have a subtle allure and captivating depth. This octagonal diamond has parallel rectangular facets, and its elongated shape and deep cut create a wonderful mirror-like effect. It is a fantastic choice for a bride who wants something different from a traditional round-cut diamond.
The pear or teardrop shape combines rounded and marquise styles and exhibits perfect or very good symmetry. This design not only makes the finger appear long and slender, but the diamond also tends to look larger than it actually is. The top surface of a pear diamond is 8% larger than that of a round diamond and creates an elegant look.
Oval diamonds are an elegant combination of round brilliant and marquise cuts. This beautiful, elongated diamond appears larger than other cuts of the same carat weight. Unique and captivating, the oval diamond is a shape for those who want to express their individuality.
Cushion-cut diamonds, with their rounded corners and square or rectangular shape, have been a popular choice for engagement rings among beautiful brides worldwide for over 200 years. Their four edges have rounded corners, while the body is square or rectangular. This diamond shape is characterized by its romantic and captivating appeal.
