| Shapes of Diamonds |
| The precision and delicacy with which your diamond is cut will determine its brilliance, its fire, and its ultimate beauty. The shape you select is a matter of individual taste and today your choice is only limited by the skill and imagination of the craftsman. The round brilliant is the most popular shape, but there are a wide variety of others that range from the more traditional marquise, pear, emerald, oval, baguette or heart to the more fanciful and creative.
|
 |
The round brilliant is the most popular of all the polished diamond shapes. |
 |
The oval is an adaptation of the round brilliant and appears larger than a round stone of the same carat weight. |
 |
The marquise is the name given to the diamond shape that is long and pointed at both ends. |
 |
The heart shape is perhaps the most romantic of what are known as fancy shapes. |
 |
The emerald cut diamond is rectangular, with facets on each of the sides and across the corners. |
 |
The pear shape is the English name for the French "pendeloque" which is related to our word pendant. |
