Every diamond is a concentrated piece of luxury. Their radiant brilliance and rarity make them uniquely fashionable and enchanting. The cut of the stone truly allows the diamond to shine. Diamond cutters and polishers have been at work since the 14th century, adding peerless beauty to these jewels. Over time, they have developed a myriad of ways to make each diamond unique. Each one offers its own aesthetic that changes the appearance of the ring, so each cut and shape should be carefully considered, especially since an engagement ring is to be worn for a lifetime.
Radiant Round
Round cut diamonds are by far the most popular with around 75% of diamonds being cut in this shape. This is likely due to their brilliance. These stones are more radiant than any other, as their high number of facets reflects quite a lot of light. Their popularity allows more compatible settings for an engagement ring you will have dreamt about. The round cut is ideal for those who seek a classic ring that is available in the widest possible variety of styles.
Perfect Princess
While the princess cut diamond has regal implications, they are best known for their modern, clean geometry. These stones are cut into square shapes and are the second most popular diamond. What makes them especially interesting is how light contrasts within the jewel. Unlike the round shape, not all light reflects at once, so darkness and light rock back and forth.
For those who appreciate a modern design that plays with light in a unique, mesmerizing way. Their feminine, fashionable shape is also appealing to those who want to sport such a look.
Opalescent Oval
Oval cut rings have a plethora of distinct and marvelous qualities. They are almost as brilliant as round shaped stones with a larger surface area. As a result, they exude an especially enchanting display. Their elongated shape grants them a rare eccentricity. This, combined with their classic style, lends them a one-of-a-kind piece that is both timeless and unusual.
For those who crave the brilliance of a round shape but want something more personal, an oval shaped ring is perfect. It is also an excellent choice for people who want an elegant and sophisticated piece.
Effervescent Emerald
The emerald cut is not just for the rich green stones for which they are named. They are also for high-quality diamonds. Their rectangular shape allows the viewer to see more of what lies between the facets. As a result, this shape is recommended only to the highest clarity of jewels. Emerald diamonds are also extremely rare, constituting less than 5% of diamonds.
People who want to sport an exquisite diamond will appreciate this cut, as will those who want to express themselves through an especially rare piece.
