Diamond Shapes
The shape of a diamond, including lab-grown diamonds, determines its style and sparkle. There are three main styles: classic and popular (round, princess), vintage-inspired (cushion, asscher, emerald), and unique cuts (marquise, oval, pear).
The round shape is the most popular and exceptionally brilliant. Princess shape offers glamour at a slightly lower price per carat.
The vintage-inspired cuts include the cushion, resembling a square with rounded corners and offering a vintage look. The Asscher cut has a 1920s feel with a square shape and edged corners. The emerald cut is step-cut, offering a bigger appearance and larger flashes of light.
The unique shapes deviate from traditional styles. The marquise cut has a football-like shape and creates a unique and larger appearance. The oval shape is modern and elongated, offering a classic yet distinct look. Lastly, the pear shape, also known as teardrop, is elegant and bold, appealing to those seeking individuality in their jewelry.
