From the classic round diamond to designer stones — there are a myriad of cuts to choose from. The following will introduce you to some of the most popular cuts and what they say about the wearer — whether worn as an engagement ring, a cocktail ring, or anything in between.
Round Cut
Nothing says timeless more than a round — you appreciate tradition and versatility. You are always ready and on the go.
Emerald Cut
Oh la, la. Sophistication and balance. An emerald cut features step cuts which appeal to those who have an affinity for lines and perfection — you are polished and structured.
Cushion Cut
Luxury and romance in a stone cut. Soft and velvety, not a round but not a square. Keeps everyone intrigued no matter the trends; trends are temporary, a cushion is forever. You are dependable and have endless elegance.
Pear Shape
The pear shape is a combination of an oval and a marquise cut. A pear shape speaks to the wearer's wit and individuality — you are adventurous, calm, and have an eye for the artistic.
Heart Shape
Oh good ol' romance. You are as romantic as can be. You are a lover of all things. You love, love — and are unapologetic about it.
Oval Cut
You are confident, a style icon, and have a zest for life. This elegant choice features the same design cut as a round but is just a tad unconventional and charismatic.
Old Mine Cut
If quiet luxury were a stone, it would be an old mine cut. As one of the original diamond cuts, this shape says you have an old soul and appreciate the small details others might miss.
Marquise
Glamour is to be expected from you and you are not willing to accept anything less. You are not afraid to break the rules.
Princess Cut
You are modern, fun, and drawn to excitement. A princess cut features similar sparkle as a round but is the more playful and outgoing cousin.
