A Guide to Diamond Shapes
Shape is the first thing the eye registers and the most personal choice you'll make. Each silhouette carries its own character — here are the ones we love most.
Ten classic shapes
Round Brilliant
The most popular and most brilliant — 57 facets engineered for maximum sparkle. Timeless and endlessly versatile.
Oval
The brilliance of a round with an elongating silhouette that flatters the finger and appears larger for its weight.
Emerald
A rectangular step cut with long, clean lines and a sophisticated 'hall-of-mirrors' depth. Understated and elegant.
Princess
A sharp, square brilliant — modern, fiery and a little architectural.
Cushion
A soft square with rounded corners and a romantic, antique glow.
Pear
A teardrop blending round and marquise — graceful and distinctive.
Marquise
An elongated shape with pointed ends that maximises perceived size and drama.
Radiant
Trimmed corners and brilliant faceting — the sparkle of a round in a squared outline.
Asscher
A square step cut with deep clarity and Art-Deco character.
Heart
The ultimate romantic symbol — a brilliant cut shaped with skill and symmetry.
Choosing your shape
There is no right or wrong — only what speaks to you. Round and oval suit those who want maximum brilliance; emerald and Asscher appeal to lovers of clean, quiet elegance; pear, marquise and heart make a more individual statement.
