WHAT YOUR DIAMOND CUT SAYS ABOUT YOU


When it comes to diamonds, there’s more than meets the eye. Did you know that the type of diamond cut you choose can actually say something about your personality? Let’s explore the different diamond cuts and find out what they say about you.



WHICH DIAMOND SHAPE ARE YOU AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?



1) THE ROUND-CUT DIAMOND:


A round-cut diamond is the most popular, timeless, and traditional type of diamond shape. This classic style indicates that you appreciate tradition and are a romantic at heart. You value what’s important in life, like relationships and family.


The round-cut diamond is the classic diamond. It reflects very well and contains 57 mirror-like facets that reflect right through the round diamond and into the eye.

 


2) THE PEAR-CUT DIAMOND:


For having such a unique shape, the pear is surprisingly versatile. This brilliant-cut diamond is shaped like a teardrop, with a rounded end tapering into a single point. It's a classic choice for anyone who wants to make a statement: daring enough to stand out yet still subtle. After all, it is the perfect combination of both traditional and modern. If you're wearing a pear-cut diamond, you know that standing out can be done with grace and elegance. You have an eye for beauty and balance, with a hint of mystery.

 


3) THE ASSCHER-CUT DIAMOND:


The Asscher-shaped diamond is a square-cut diamond with cropped or softened corners. Royal Asscher diamonds have 74 facets and wide corners—the only diamond cut considered octagonal. Classic Asscher diamonds have 58 facets and a precise length-to-width ratio—it’s a perfect square but usually has more clarity than a cushion-style diamond. Modern Asscher diamonds have 58 facets but reflect like a bright, emerald-cut diamond (you can see its steps). The prong, too, can influence the style and shape of its appearance.


If you like Asscher diamonds, you may be a modern traditionalist. You want to stand out but still stay true to classic styles and shapes.



4) THE CUSHION-CUT DIAMOND:


Cushion-cut diamonds have rounded corners that give them the appearance of being square and are frequently found in antique or vintage jewelry. Compared to their square counterparts, cushion diamonds typically sparkle more.
If you like cushion-cut diamonds, you're likely a romantic at heart. You appreciate the classics and are drawn to vintage items—especially when it comes to jewelry.



5) THE OVAL-CUT DIAMOND:


Oval diamonds are similar to round diamonds, but they have a very beneficial upgrade: because of their elongated shape, they appear bigger than they actually are. . This is due to the fact that oval diamonds have a larger surface area than other stones of the same carat weight. So, even though they seem bigger, you can buy them for a lot less money. Oval diamonds also have the added benefit of being much trendier than traditional forms while still being classic enough to be worn for years to come.



6) THE RADIANT-CUT DIAMOND:


The radiant cut diamond is the middle ground between cushion and princess styles. Thus, a square-shaped ring will resemble an emerald-cut diamond in appearance. However, radiant-cut diamonds differ in that they have a distinct arrangement of facts, allowing for more brilliance.


It's a one-of-a-kind shape with flat corners. Hence, those who opt for radiant cuts tend to be creative and have an eye for detail.



7) THE PRINCESS-CUT DIAMOND:


The princess-cut diamond shape is for the classy and traditional woman that is also energetic and bubbly. A princess-cut diamond is square on the top, features four beveled sides, and comes in at a point (like an upside-down pyramid) beneath the shiny surface of the ring. This is the cut for you if you want maximum sparkle in a modern design.



8) THE EMERALD-CUT DIAMOND:


The emerald-cut diamond is a beautiful cut inspired by the gemstone of the same name. The emerald cut features an elongated diamond shape that emphasizes clarity. This cut is great for those who think that sparkle isn't necessarily the only quality to look for in a diamond. People who choose an emerald shape are often sophisticated and appreciate subtle elegance.



9) THE MARQUISE-CUT DIAMOND:


The Marquise Diamond is an extremely bold cut that makes a dazzling impression. This marquise-cut diamond is for the woman who commands attention, is outgoing, and is a risk taker. This flashy cut boasts impressive brilliance, while its pointed edges convey power and drama.



10) THE HEART-CUT DIAMOND:


The heart-shaped diamond is a timeless, romantic cut. This diamond shape is perfect for anyone who wants to boldly express their love and commitment. If you choose a heart-shaped diamond cut, chances are that you're passionate and love deeply.


A heart-shaped stone tends to show slight color in its point, so you may want to budget for a higher color grade than you'd need when buying this diamond style. And, since the heart shape can often appear smaller than other diamond shapes of similar carat weight, you may want to purchase a slightly larger stone for maximum impact.
