Choose a shape that reflects your personality! Classic shapes like round and oval are timeless, while emerald or pear shapes add a unique flair. For a modern look, consider a marquise or princess. Choosing the shape is the first step in finding the perfect diamond for yourself.

Think About Your Hand and Finger Shape:

Oval and elongated shapes (like marquise and pear) can lengthen fingers, making them look more elegant. Round and cushion shapes give a softer look, complementing many hand shapes. 

Know Your Lifestyle: 

If you’re active, round or princess cuts are durable, while more delicate shapes like marquise may need extra care. Oval is great for people with an active lifestyle due to its rounded edges—this is a diamond with tradition and a twist.

Understanding Different Diamond Shapes:

Marquise Cut: Similar to the oval shape, with pointed edges that resemble an ellipse or football.

Emerald Cut: The elongated shape of this stone allows the emerald-shaped diamond to appear larger than other diamonds of the same carat weight. The deep cuts create plenty of reflections, producing a dazzling hall-of-mirrors effect.

Pear Shape: The teardrop shape is modern and trendy—versatile to wear with the point facing up or down depending on preference.

Asscher Cut: Associated with Art Deco style, this square cut exudes vintage elegance.

Cushion Cut: With a pillow-like appearance, it gives a vintage feel and has been around for more than 200 years.

Radiant Cut: A hybrid diamond shape that combines the edges of an emerald cut with the breathtaking brilliance of a round cut. 

Modern vs. Traditional Choices:

Modern Shapes: Heart, oval & pear

Traditional Shapes: Princess, radiant, emerald, asscher, marquise, round, and cushion
