Want a little crash course in diamond cuts?
When it comes to selecting the perfect engagement or statement ring, the choice of diamond cut plays a pivotal role in capturing your love story's essence. From timeless classics to modern marvels, here's a glimpse into some of the most captivating diamond cuts that can make your ring truly extraordinary.
1. Round Brilliant Diamonds
Round brilliant diamonds are the reigning champions of the engagement ring world. Their symmetrical shape allows light to dance brilliantly from every angle, making them a top choice for those seeking ultimate fire, sparkle, and timeless elegance. With 57 facets, these diamonds radiate unparalleled brilliance, ensuring your cherished symbol of love lasts a lifetime.
2. Princess Diamonds
For a contemporary and glamorous flair, look no further than the princess cut diamond. This square-shaped marvel dazzles like no other, perfect for someone with a taste for the extraordinary. Princess cut engagement rings shine brightest with larger carat diamonds, giving your proposal the wow-factor it deserves.
3. Oval Diamonds
Embrace vintage-inspired charm with oval-shaped diamonds, a delightful twist on the classic round brilliant cut. Oval engagement rings offer brilliance and fire, especially when accentuated with a halo of smaller round diamonds. This cut seamlessly blends contemporary and classic styles, appealing to the modern romantic.
4. Marquise Diamonds
Elegance personified, marquise diamonds boast a unique "boat" shape that elongates and slims fingers. This cut provides the illusion of a larger diamond, adding luxury to your ring. Perfect for those who crave attention and want a distinct yet beautiful symbol of their commitment.
5. Pear Diamonds
Pear-shaped diamonds combine the grace of a round brilliant cut with the allure of a marquise shape. Also known as teardrop diamonds, they can be worn with the point upwards or downwards, offering versatility in style. Beyond engagement rings, pear-shaped diamonds are popular for various jewellery pieces, making them a unique and lasting choice.
6. Emerald Cut Diamonds
Inspired by the elegance of emerald gemstones, this cut features a rectangular shape with rounded corners. Emerald cut diamonds showcase exceptional clarity and are ideal for lovers of vintage-inspired sophistication. Their long facets vividly highlight the stone's brilliance, making them a timeless choice.
7. Cushion Diamonds
Cushion cut diamonds exude glamour and femininity with their square shape and softly rounded edges, reminiscent of a plush pillow. The large facets create a spectacular display of spectral colours, evoking a rainbow-like brilliance. These diamonds shine even brighter when surrounded by a halo of round brilliant diamonds.
8. Baguette Diamonds
For those who appreciate the allure of the Art Deco era, baguette cut diamonds are an impeccable choice. With their narrow and rectangular shape, they exhibit clean lines and geometric elegance. Baguette diamonds can be used creatively in cluster designs or to embellish the shoulders of an engagement ring, often paired with a dazzling round brilliant diamond at the centre.
In the world of engagement rings, the choice of diamond cut is a deeply personal one, reflecting your style, personality, and the love you share. Whether you gravitate toward the timeless brilliance of round cuts or the modern sophistication of princess cuts, your engagement ring will be a cherished symbol of your love story.
