Like us, diamonds have personalities, too.

Each figure and cut is unique and signifies a meaning to anyone who would wear it.

Before we decide, we should familiarize ourselves with diamond shapes and learn the difference between diamond cuts.

Here, we’ll learn more about the shapes of diamonds that we can customize as we move along.

What Shape of Diamond is Right For You?

Diamond shapes have a different purpose. That’s what makes it unique.
So how do we know the right shape for you?

1. Round-shaped Diamond

The round-shaped diamond is known to have the most sparkle and brilliance.

It signifies commitment, or more like loyalty, and endless love.

No wonder this is the most popular shape of a diamond. So if you or your loved one are in the market for a sparkly diamond, then this is the right shape for you.

2. Oval-shaped Diamond

Oval-shaped diamonds symbolize life, rebirth, and fertility. Most people opt for oval-shaped diamonds to start a new family or make a new life in a second marriage.

And just like the round-shaped diamonds, it’s also a symbol of eternal love.

Oval-shaped diamonds are also excellent for people who have creative minds and those who are risk-takers — people who are always willing to step outside their comfort zone and love adventures.

So if you think that this describes you, then this is the perfect shape for you.

3. Pear-Shaped Diamond

The pear-shaped diamond is perfect for independent women who have high standards but still has a soft desire for romance.

Pear-shaped diamonds take up the form of a teardrop — which may be a prelude to joy or heartbreak.

4. Heart-Shaped Diamond

The heart-shaped diamond symbolizes pure romance. However, it’s said that women who choose this diamond shape tend to see the unrealistic side of marriage and get disappointed about the reality of our daily life.

It also serves as a reminder that love is not a fairy tale.

5. Marquise-Shaped Diamond

Although marquise-shaped diamonds look like an elongated eye at first glance, it is designed to mimic the shape of a woman’s mouth.

The marquise shape symbolizes the desire for great wealth and luxury.
This shape was specifically designed to make the diamond look bigger through the optical illusion of dimension.

6. Emerald-Shaped Diamond

This diamond shape is one of the most beautiful shapes and cuts among the other forms of the diamond.

The emerald shape is old-fashioned yet exquisite.

It symbolizes an open heart and a free spirit.

It’s said that a woman who doesn’t need the approval of others should wear this diamond.

7. Cushion-Shaped Diamond

The cushion diamond shape looks like a cushion or a pillow and is well-known for having an elegant and classic look.

Most vintage diamonds are cushion-shaped, so if you’re into vintage-looking diamonds, this is the perfect shape for you.

What Is the Most Popular Type of Diamond?

As stated above, the most popular type of diamond is the round-shaped diamond.

Due to its famous brilliance and sparkle, round diamonds represent two-thirds of the diamonds sold in the market.

When Marcel Tolkowsky published the book “Diamond Design: A Study of the Reflection and Refraction of Light in Diamond” in 1919, he explained the ideal angles for a diamond that produces the most fire brilliance.

Since then, the round brilliant became popular up to this day and remained consistent.

The round brilliant diamond shape has 58 facets giving an incredible sparkle and brilliance. A round brilliant diamond carat ranges from $1000 – $15000 depending on the quality (4Cs).

What is Diamond’s Carat Weight?

Carat is the unit of measurement of a diamond’s weight.

A diamond carat weighs 0.200 in grams or 200 milligrams. Carat weight plays a significant role when it comes to determining a diamond’s value.

That’s why jewelers need to use a precisely balanced scale in measuring small weights to make sure that the result will be accurate.

An example of how diamonds are appraised is that, if larger diamonds are rare and more desirable, the diamond’s price increases with its carat weight.

However, for instance, two diamonds of equal carats may have a different value depending on the other 3 Cs (color, clarity, and cut).

Here’s how to choose diamonds based on their carats.

What’s the Difference Between Shape and Cuts of Diamond?

We should be familiar with different shapes and cutting styles in customized diamonds to make it more valuable.

A diamond’s shape is the external outline of the diamond. In comparison, a diamond’s cut refers to the symmetrical figure, facets, and reflective qualities of a diamond.

For example, a diamond shape can be round, oval, heart-shaped, or pear-shaped. On the other hand, a round-shaped diamond can be cut shallow, dull, or brilliant.

The shape is still round, but the symmetrical figure can be different from one another.

Some of the most popular diamond cuts are Round Brilliant cut, Emerald cut, Princess cut, Pear cut, and Asscher Cut.

Does a Diamond Cut Determine Its Quality?

A diamond’s quality relies on the 4Cs (Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat weight). So a diamond cutting style also contributes to its quality.

Gemologists in GIA use a Diamond Cut Grading Chart to determine the grade of the diamond cut. Here are the grading categories:

● Excellent – refers to the highest level of fire and brilliance.
● Very Good – refers to having high fire and brilliance.
● Good – refers to having brilliance and sparkle but at a lower price.
● Fair – refers to having a little brilliance.
● Poor – refers to not having no sparkle, brilliance, or fire.

Points to Consider

Now that we know much about the shapes and cuts of a diamond, we’ll now be able to choose the right diamond for our loved ones.

Don’t hesitate to learn more about customized shapes and cuts of a diamond.

There’s always something to learn when it comes to these beautiful gems.

Lastly, don’t forget that we are all unique.
