01. Emerald Cut Diamond

An Emerald cut diamond is a step-cut diamond. Unlike the round or oval one that displays better brilliance, this one has got more depth and sparkle; a sort of prism effect. This shape is more of a graceful, modern and refined in appeal. If you love Emerald Cuts you will love our Mirabelle or Vivienne Rings.

Pros:

• I just love Emerald cuts because of their affordability. Which means you get more bling for your buck compared to other diamond cuts.
• It showcases a ‘peering into a hall of mirrors’ kind of effect. Think Versailles with its Great Hall of Mirrors. It is rich & regal. You can actually look through the faceted sides and the depth of the cuts in this diamond which draws the eye in.
• It also has the added benefit of elongating your finger, which makes it more graceful.

Cons:

• Imperfections can be easily spotted in this shape due to its depth. You will want to choose one that does not have noticiable imperfections right on the table. Again, these are best chosen in person by a trained eye, not just by a grading report. We get some fabulous deals on Emerald Cut diamonds that are just gorgeous.
• If the diamond is not finely cut, it would appear a little black in color. Most Emerald Cuts face up white, so you would want to concentrate on getting one with a finer cut.

 

02.  Oval Cut Diamond

An 1ct. oval cut diamond can look a lot bigger than a classic 1ct. round diamond. Because its elongated shape, and larger table an oval cut diamonds can appear larger than they really are. In addition that they can also give your bride-to-be’s finger an longer, more elegant look.

This shape is unique, romantic and stands out while being modest. If you don't prefer something too fancy but still wish to wear something different, this one is perfect. Our Dahlilah ring is a perfect example of the beautiful qualities of an oval diamond ring.

Pros:

• Similar to the round diamonds when it comes to sparkle and brilliance
• Typically it is less expensive per carat than a round diamond
• Oval diamonds have a larger table and appear comparatively larger
• Most importantly, they make a woman’s finger look slender & elegant

Cons:

• Might show a bow-tie effect. That is, it appears to be a little darker in the center due to the uneven distribution of light. When choosing an oval diamond you want to place more emphasis on the cut in order to avoid this. We are very particular about choosing Oval Cut Diamonds for our customers as they have to be hand inspected to avoid this.
• It is difficult to determine the dark spot from a grading report.

  

 

 03. Pear Shaped Diamond

If you look for diamond shapes for engagement rings,pear-shaped diamonds are beautiful choice for an engagement ring. This is because this shape is very feminine and adds a lot of vintage charm to your engagement ring, especially when surrounded by a delicate halo. It is also known as a tear drop shaped diamond. You can see some examples of a Pear Shaped Diamond Ring here.

Pros:

• A pear shaped stone can also make your finger look long and slender.
• A very unique cut that is delicate & romantic. You will not see pear shaped diamonds everywhere like you do round cut diamonds.
• Again, they are priced more affordably than the round cut, making purchasing a larger one an option.

Cons:

• The pointed end can be delicate and prone to chipping. To avoid this we recommend making sure that it is in a proper setting to protect the point. Having it set in a a halo setting or with a prong protecting the point are the best ways to prevent this.

If you search for the best diamond shape for engagement ring,the round one is certainly one of the most popular ones available, but on a per carat basis, it is not the one that will look the largest.

Pros:

• The sparkle & brilliance of a round shaped diamond is intense. Thus, it can hide flaws really well.
• It can mask color due to the table size being smaller than the cuts mentioned above.
• There is the largest choice as far as selection of round diamonds. Because they are the most popular they are also the ones that are the most widely available.

Cons:
