Your preference and style will determine which diamond shape is best for you. So, to get you inspired, here are some characteristics of each diamond shape:
Round
The round diamond is a traditional shape. Round diamonds have conquered the jewelry world due to their one-of-a-kind fire, brilliance, and sparkle, making them a classic option for engagement rings. The signature circular shape arranges numerous facets, allowing your jewelry to sparkle like a star. Another feature worth mentioning is the extra shine provided by the round shape.
Radiant
Radiant cut diamonds perfectly blend the best parts of a round brilliant cut diamond and an emerald cut diamond, with glittering sparkle and angular drama.

This iconic shape is square or rectangular in shape. It is considered a gorgeous and brilliant option, particularly for those looking to make a statement with sophistication and elegance. If you want a stone that resembles royalty, this shape is ideal!
Oval
As the name implies, the oval diamond's elongated silhouette exudes a captivating brilliance and distinct fire. The oval shape may be ideal if you want a super elegant, modern option that can even elongate the wearer's finger.
Marquise
The Marquise diamond shape resembles a boat with pointed ends. This option can even give the appearance of a larger diamond, adding style and class to any outfit.
Pear
The pear diamond shape refers to stones with a teardrop-shaped outline, which a silhouette can distinguish with a pointed end and another rounded end. It combines the classic round cut diamond and the marquise shape to create an enchanting and lovely design.
Heart
A heart-shaped diamond has two rounded edges separated by a cleft on one end and a point on the other, resembling the iconic heart. Its symbolism is very dreamy, which makes it ideal for romantic brides.
Asscher
Asscher cut diamonds have a clean look, visual appeal, and a vintage elegance that many brides-to-be appreciate. The brilliant style facet arrangement is vibrant and dazzling, and the vintage-style can elegantly mimic antique designs.
