More Diamond Shapes on the Rise
August 5th, 2020
The shape of your diamond sets the tone for the overall look of your engagement ring. While there's plenty of ways to embellish any diamond shape, a round-cut stone evokes a different feel from, say, and emerald-cut diamond. Besides being a beautiful reminder of your love and commitment, the diamond's shape of your engagement ring should reflect who you are and your personal style.
Timeless & Traditional Diamond Shapes
Round shaped diamonds are still—and may well forever be—the most classic, traditional cut for engagement rings. With 58 facets, round diamonds offer stunning light refraction for a ring that can stand the test of time: It may be a safe choice, but it's never a boring one.
For brides wanting something a little more fun-loving than a round-cut diamond, princess-cut stones offer a nice alternative. Letting in almost as much light as round-cut stones, princess-cut diamonds feature squared-off corners for a striking, modern, and sleek look.
A Modern Shape, with a Bohemian Twist
Another take on round-cut stones with a little more in the way of creative verve is the romantic oval-shaped diamond. The elongated diamond shape creates depth and visual appeal for an especially unique look, making it a great option for the modern bride looking for a slight touch of dreamy, bohemian style.
A Shape with Old-World Romance and Modern Appeal
Cushion-cut stones boast larger facets and a pillowy glow thanks to the rounded facets on the gem's crown. Cushion cuts work better on larger stones and can create a kaleidoscopic effect when light from the pavilion's facets hit those on the gem's crown. Though cushion-cut diamonds tend to boast vintage charm, put one in a sleek setting and the look is instantly modern and ultra-glamorous.
