Diamond Shapes
June 10th, 2008 by Admin
Many people confuse diamond shapes with diamond cuts. The term diamond shapes refer to the geometrical form of the diamond, whereas diamond cuts are actually referring to the symmetry, polish and proportioning of the gem. The diamond shape is generally the first thing that is noticed when someone looks at a diamond engagement ring.
Because the round brilliant diamond is the most common shape around, some people choose different diamond shapes because they want unique engagement rings.
Because the unique diamond shapes are more complex, the regular diamond cuts rules are hard to apply to these stones. Here is a list of the most common diamond shapes:
- Round Brilliant Diamonds
- Oval Diamonds
- Marquise Diamonds
- Pear Diamonds
- Heart Shaped Diamonds
- Princess Cut Diamond
- Emerald Cut Diamonds
- Radiant Cut Diamond
- Asscher Cut Diamond
- Trilliant Cut Diamond
- Cushion Cut Diamonds
