Top Diamond Cuts - Learn About Different Diamond Shapes at Diamond Envy

Diamond Shape• Diamonds are like snowflakes – no two are exactly alike – and that extends to the variety of shapes into which diamonds are cut.
• Please take a moment to peruse some of the more popular forms that will soon captivate your eye, or better still, grace your finger.

Asscher Cut• These stones, also known as square Emerald cuts, are step-cut with cropped corners, giving them an almost octagonal appearance. • When you peer into an Asscher Cut, you are looking through the entirety of the stone, lending it a very open and bright appearance.

Round Brilliant Cut• The Round Brilliant Cut is the most popular shape seen in diamonds today. • With 58 facets (including the culet), this cut is designed to maximize light performance and return exceptional brilliance, making it the most likely contender to be found in the center of an engagement ring.

Cushion Cut• The Cushion Cut is a marriage of the traditional and the new. It is a hybrid form of the classic “Mine Cut”, popular over a century ago, and the modern Oval Cut. • It may be called a cushion, but please don’t try to use it as one!

Emerald Cut• As beautiful for the precision of its cut as for its aesthetic appeal, the Emerald Cut boasts high transparency of appearance and clarity. • Originally used to cut emeralds, this technique works especially well on diamonds with few noticeable inclusions. And people will be “green” with envy if they see you wearing one.

Marquise Cut• The Marquise Cut is basically an elongated round, making it look like an eye and if you stare at it hard enough it just may blink at you. • Its distinctive shape is designed to “cut out” natural inclusions and maximize the appearance of the stone.

Oval Cut• If you’re looking for a stone that’s similar to a round but slightly more distinctive, this shape might be for you. • Essentially a modified Round Brilliant Cut, the Oval is perfect for anyone who likes the scenic view when you take the long way ‘round.

Pear Shape• Bite into this stone at your own risk, because the only thing in common it has with the fruit is its name. • Delivering exceptional light performance and boasting 58 facets (like a Round Brilliant Cut in both cases), a Pear Shape diamond will get you noticed because of its unique form and unforgettable brilliance.

Princess Cut• Princess Cuts are square-cut diamonds that are slightly misnamed because wearing one will make you feel like a queen. • Because of their faceting structure and design, these are extremely transparent stones with a big, open appearance. Princesses usually produce the best light performance of the square- cut family of stones.

Radiant Cut• A blend of square and round, a Radiant Cut is a fusion of the traditional Round Brilliant Cut and Emerald Cut. • It was designed to produce an unconventional shape while retaining the exquisite natural properties of its “parent” cuts. See for yourself if this cut makes you radiate.
