Diamond Shapes Guide

Our exquisite assortment features a dazzling array of diamonds, available in a myriad of shapes and sizes. We take immense pride in our expansive selection of designs, ensuring that there's something to cater to every individual preference. When looking for the perfect engagement ring, one of the foremost considerations is the shape of the diamond or gemstone. This choice wields a pivotal influence over the overall aesthetics of the ring and, when coupled with the 4C's (cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight), assumes paramount significance. In the following guide, we will delve into the most sought-after diamond shapes, offering you valuable insights to illuminate your engagement ring shopping journey.

Princess

Much like the Cushion shape, the Princess cut exhibits a square appearance, but it boasts crisper and more contemporary lines. As the second most favoured shape, its well-balanced symmetry and modern aesthetics render it a top choice for many.

Radiant

Radiant diamonds present a rectangular outline featuring gently trimmed corners. They merge the refined elegance of an emerald cut with the dazzling brilliance of a Brilliant diamond, culminating in a captivating and distinctive aesthetic.

Asscher

The Asscher cut diamond, characterised by its square shape with square-cut corners, optimises its sparkle through steeper facets and a deep crown, delivering a unique and enchanting appearance.

Brilliant

The Round, also known as the Brilliant cut, stands as the most universally adored diamond shape. Its ageless and traditional charm, coupled with its meticulously crafted facets, enhances the dispersion of light to produce a dazzling sparkle of unparalleled beauty.

Oval

The Oval shape represents a modern preference that complements a variety of finger shapes. Its symmetrical and elongated cut imparts the illusion of a larger diamond relative to its carat weight, all the while preserving an elegant and timeless style.

Cushion

The Cushion shape presents a square or rectangular outline adorned with rounded corners, rendering it a versatile choice for a range of ring settings. This shape's broader facets give rise to bursts of light, different from the conventional sparkle associated with Brilliant cut diamonds.

Marquise

Renowned for its capacity to offer the most extensive surface area among diamond shapes, the Marquise cut skillfully conjures the illusion of a larger gemstone in relation to its carat weight. Possessing a contemporary allure, this shape presents a unique and attention-grabbing appearance.

Trillion

With its triangular silhouette characterised by equal sides, the Trillion, or Trilliant, shape exudes a geometrical elegance that imparts a distinctive and exceptional flair to any engagement ring design.

Baguette

The Baguette shape is distinguished by its uncomplicated and refined presence, featuring a long rectangular silhouette and a modest count of 14 facets. Frequently employed as accent stones, Baguette diamonds assume a supporting role in elevating the overall design of engagement rings.

Heart

The Heart shape stands as the ultimate symbol of love and romance, boasting an iconic and instantly recognisable silhouette that embodies profound emotional connections and affection.

Emerald

Featuring an elegant rectangular shape, the Emerald cut proves to be a flattering option for a range of finger shapes. Its shallow facets serve to accentuate a diamond's clarity and colour, rendering it an outstanding choice, particularly for higher quality gemstones.

Pear

Also recognised as the Teardrop, the Pear shape harmoniously blends features from the Brilliant and Marquise cuts. Its elongated form bestows upon it a distinctive and breathtaking allure, suiting a variety of finger shapes.
