Diamond Cut

Diamonds as they are found in nature look very different from those that are used in jewellery. In Nature they look a lot like stones or small pebbles. These are then cleaned, polished, shaped, cut and transformed into the glistering, shimmering gemstones that we love so much. There are innumerable different shapes into which diamonds can be cut. But there are some shapes which are commonly used in jewellery and are popular the world over. Here’s a look at the top 5 diamond shapes based on their popularity.

Diamond 2 Round Brilliant Cut Diamond – This is the most commonly used diamond shape, because it is very versatile and can be used in a number of different types of jewellery. There is no shape more symmetrical or more balanced. It is hard to spot impurities or inclusions in a round brilliant cut diamond. This is usually the first choice when it comes to solitaire rings and diamond studs. A perfect gift for a perfect partner. This shape of diamond is the prefect to make an impression.

Diamond 1 Princess Cut Diamond – The princess cut diamond, which was developed during the 1960s is also classic and elegant like the round brilliant cut diamond. Princess cut diamonds can be either square or rectangular, which makes them extremely versatile and usable. This cut is also a popular choice for engagement rings. Make your partner feel like a princess with this shape of diamond.

Asscher Cut Diamond – This shape became hugely popular in the early 1900s. It looks like a square, with cropped corners and a flat top. Inclusions and impurities are easily seen in an Asscher cut diamond, which is why very high-grade, clear diamonds are used for this cut. This shape is popular even today for its bold look and classy design.

Diamond 3 Emerald Cut Diamond – This shape is like a rectangle with truncated corners, and is similar to the Asscher cut. The top is like a flat plane and the diamond has step-cuts down the flanks. This shape has an old world charm, which is perfect for vintage or classic designs. Though vintage in its look, this shape is hard to go out of demand.

Marquise Cut Diamond – The marquise cut looks like an oval with pointed ends. This cut gets its name from Marquise of Pompadour, for whom this diamond shape was commissioned by French King Luis XIV. The marquise cut is thin and long, and gives an illusion of being larger than it is.
