2. Diamond Shape

3. 1 Asscher Cut
1
• These stones, also known as square Emerald cuts, are step-cut
with cropped corners, giving them an almost octagonal
appearance.
• When you peer into an Asscher Cut, you are looking through the
entirety of the stone, lending it a very open and bright appearance.

4. 2 Round Brilliant Cut
2
• The Round Brilliant Cut is the most popular shape seen in
diamonds today.
• With 58 facets (including the culet), this cut is designed to
maximize light performance and return exceptional brilliance,
making it the most likely contender to be found in the center of an
engagement ring.

5. 3 Cushion Cut
3
• The Cushion Cut is a marriage of the traditional and the new.
It is a hybrid form of the classic “Mine Cut”, popular over a
century ago, and the modern Oval Cut.
• It may be called a cushion, but please don’t try to use it as one!

6. 4 Emerald Cut
4
• As beautiful for the precision of its cut as for its aesthetic appeal,
the Emerald Cut boasts high transparency of appearance and
clarity.
• Originally used to cut emeralds, this technique works especially well
on diamonds with few noticeable inclusions. And people will be
“green” with envy if they see you wearing one.

7. 5 Marquise Cut
5
• The Marquise Cut is basically an elongated round, making it look
like an eye and if you stare at it hard enough it just may blink at
you.
• Its distinctive shape is designed to “cut out” natural inclusions and
maximize the appearance of the stone.

8. 6 Oval Cut
6
• If you’re looking for a stone that’s similar to a round but slightly
more distinctive, this shape might be for you.
• Essentially a modified Round Brilliant Cut, the Oval is perfect for
anyone who likes the scenic view when you take the long way
‘round.

9. 7 Pear Shape
7
• Bite into this stone at your own risk, because the only thing in
common it has with the fruit is its name.
• Delivering exceptional light performance and boasting 58 facets
(like a Round Brilliant Cut in both cases), a Pear Shape diamond will
get you noticed because of its unique form and unforgettable
brilliance.

10. 8 Princess Cut
8
• Princess Cuts are square-cut diamonds that are slightly misnamed
because wearing one will make you feel like a queen.
• Because of their faceting structure and design, these are
extremely transparent stones with a big, open appearance.
Princesses usually produce the best light performance of the square-
cut family of stones.

11. 9 Radiant Cut
9
• A blend of square and round, a Radiant Cut is a fusion of the
traditional Round Brilliant Cut and Emerald Cut.
• It was designed to produce an unconventional shape while
retaining the exquisite natural properties of its “parent” cuts. See
for yourself if this cut makes you radiate.
