What Are Diamond Shapes
Every diamond is a symbol of your true love, bond, and commitment that makes every moment precious and special. And when it comes to expressing your emotions, you can't settle for the ordinary. It demands uniqueness in shape, cut, clarity and design, and to shop for the perfect jewel, you need to consider a few of the factors that present a unique impression, elegant cuts, and a mysterious glow, to give the real you.
Our Dynamic Catalog
Round Cut Diamond
Round cut diamonds are one of the most ideal choices for engagement rings, sparking a dazzling glow with their unique shape. This cut has been specially engineered to reflect brilliance and dispersion with intense brightness. Approximately 75% of all diamonds sold are round cuts, demonstrating their widespread popularity.
As researched by gemologists, round cut diamonds are renowned for their unrivaled fire and excellence, making them more valuable than other gemstones. This elegant shape is classic enough to make a statement on its own. So if you have a set budget, round cut diamonds are the best choice.
Emerald Cut Diamond
Using the original technique for emerald cuts, these diamonds are usually rectangular in shape, often distinguished by beveled corners and step facets. With long and straight lines, they offer abundant reflections, making the emerald cut a premium choice with less spark but more quality and clarity.
This diamond shape produces a hall-of-mirrors effect that interacts with dark and light planes. It gives a vintage feel and elevates the look of your slender finger. Accounting for only 3% of the diamond market, it is considered one of the least common diamond cuts compared to round cut diamonds.
Cushion Cut Diamond
Introduced in the early 1800s, the cushion cut has a luxurious history reflecting a more traditional outlook — less fiery yet more brilliant for any special occasion. Cushion cut diamonds have rounded corners, cut into square and rectangular shapes, with precise light binding and dispersion. They are available in several variations — modern, standard, and modified — each with unique design characteristics.
Cushion cut diamonds always have a luxurious appeal due to their larger facets and intense flashes of fire, giving a slimming effect on the fingers. If you want to display colored diamonds, cushion cuts are the best option. You can visit our engagement ring store to explore our state-of-the-art collections with vibrant shapes.
Marquis Cut Diamond
The Marquise cut diamond resembles an elegant boat shape, popularly known as the Navette cut. It complements wearers who want a slender look, since it has the appearance of a larger stone — typically unique from round, square, and rectangular shapes.
This pointed shape perfectly balances brilliant white light with dispersion, having the largest face-up area to bring ultimate shine to your slimmer finger. With its elegant flair, it truly stands out. However, when shopping for a Marquise cut diamond, watch for the bow-tie effect that happens when the diamond's shape casts shadows on the main facet of the stone.
If you want to shop for a truly authentic Marquise cut diamond, note that you won't find such a defect. It will look more dramatic and larger than differently cut stones of the same carat weight. At Striliant, we have tested diamonds that meet the benchmark of authenticity and rarity. Pay a visit now and get the most memorable gift for your better half!
Heart Cut Diamond
The heart cut diamond holds a romantic gesture, resembling the shape of love and making an excellent choice for an engagement ring or anniversary ring. This shape is ideal for pendants and earrings — not too flat, as that can dull the brilliance of the gem. You can also go for larger diamonds so the shape shines out magnificently.
As a variation of the pear cut diamond, it requires great skill and dexterity from the diamond cutter to achieve a premium polish with well-refined shine and brilliance. At Striliant, we can design this for you!
Pear Cut Diamond
The pear cut diamond is a striking blend of the Marquise and round cut, making it a timeless choice that exudes elegance. This diamond shape is quite challenging to produce. At Striliant, combining the brilliance of round cuts with the uniqueness of the Marquise, we showcase our skill and quality with this splendid shape. Our expert, GIA-graded professionals have mastered the pear cut because we know every relationship demands effort — and so we put it in for you.
This cut has symmetrical curves and hides inclusions well with exquisite traditional faceting.
