Different Diamond
Shapes and Their Characteristics
One of the many reasons why women and diamond collectors
have a hard time choosing a specific stone is because there are too many shapes
to choose from. Here are some of the popular diamond shapes and their
characteristics:
Round
This diamond cut is the most popular choice and
well-researched shape among all the other diamond cuts. This is the type of
diamond shape that would look good on any finger.
Heart
This is a favorite stone shape that men usually give to
their loved ones since heart is symbolic of love and romance.
Pear
This type of cut is also known as teardrop, because it is
pointed on one end and rounded on the other. This specific shape looks good on
women with short and small fingers because the stone gives off an illusion of
length.
Princess
A contemporary-style and non-round cut that is well-loved by
younger generations. This is also one of the favorite cut used for engagement
rings. This type of cut has pointed corners and is generally square or
rectangular in shape.
Emerald
This shape’s pavilion or the unique rectangular cut makes this
diamond distinctive and beautiful. This specific cut highlights the diamond’s
clarity so this would definitely look best on diamonds that are clear and
colorless.
Cushion
This unique, pillow-shape diamond cut has been a popular
choice for over a century. Similar to that of an emerald cut, this shape also
highlights the stone’s clarity and color.
Radiant
This is another popular choice because of the cut’s unique
style. The corners are trimmed beautifully which makes this type of stone shape
a must have for some diamond collector.
