DIAMOND SHAPES
Discover our selection of diamond shapes — from traditional to fancy cuts.
1. Brilliant Cuts
Brilliant cuts are designed to maximize the diamond’s brilliance, or how much light is reflected from the inside of the stone. Brilliant cuts are the most popular for engagement rings and other high-visibility jewelry.
Round Brilliant
The most popular and classic diamond cut, the round brilliant has 57 or 58 facets (including the culet). It’s designed to offer the most brilliance and is ideal for maximizing the light return in a diamond.
PRINCESS
A square or rectangular brilliant cut, the princess cut is known for its modern style and brilliance. It has a pyramid shape when viewed from the side, with a pointed bottom, and is highly sought after for its fire and sparkle.
OVAL
A brilliant cut with an elongated, oval shape, this diamond combines the brilliance of the round cut with a unique, sophisticated look. Its length makes the diamond appear larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight.
CUSHION
Also known as a "pillow cut," the cushion cut has a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners. It has larger facets that can vary between brilliant and step cuts, creating a softer, vintage look with plenty of fire.
PEAR
A hybrid of the round and marquise cuts, the pear (or teardrop) cut is brilliant and elegant. It’s often used in pendants and earrings for its unique, versatile shape.
MARQUISE
This boat-shaped brilliant cut has pointed ends and a long, narrow profile, making it appear larger than its carat weight. It also creates an elongating effect when worn as a ring.
HEART
The heart-shaped brilliant cut is a symbol of romance. It’s more difficult to cut than other shapes but is loved for its distinctive and emotional appearance.

2. Step Cuts
Step cuts are known for their elegance and sophistication. They are defined by large, open facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect, emphasizing the clarity and luster of the diamond rather than its brilliance.
EMERALD
One of the most famous step cuts, the emerald cut has a rectangular shape with cropped corners and parallel facets that resemble steps. Its large table and open facets make it ideal for diamonds with high clarity and color.
Baguette
Typically used as side stones in jewelry, baguette-cut diamonds are long, rectangular, and have straight facets. Their clean lines add a modern touch to designs.
ASSCHER
A square version of the emerald cut, the Asscher cut has a unique, almost octagonal shape when viewed from the top. It has more depth and is highly sought after for its vintage aesthetic.
