Diamond Cuts
The cut defines how a diamond interacts with light. The classic round brilliant with 57 facets sets the standard — every other shape is a fancy cut. Ideal proportions are calculated to achieve maximum brilliance and fire.
Round
57 facets · brilliant
The ultimate expression of brilliance and fire. Maximizes light return while minimizing susceptibility to external damage — the most popular diamond shape in the world.
Pear
Teardrop
A teardrop silhouette with distinct symmetry at its narrowing point, where light concentrates. Elongates the finger and adds refined elegance to any setting.
Marquise
18th century · France
An elongated oval with pointed ends, born in mid-18th century France. This regal shape maximizes carat weight and creates the illusion of a larger stone.
Princess
49–65 facets
The second most popular diamond shape, created in the 1980s by jeweler Betzalel Ambar. Rivals the round in brilliance while preserving up to 80% of the rough stone.
Baguette
Early 20th century
Named from the French "bague" — a word that once meant gemstones in general. Its clean, elongated step-cut emphasizes clarity and architectural precision.
Heart
Exclusive
One of the most complex and costly forms of modified brilliant cut. Reserved for exclusive pieces, it demands exceptional craftsmanship and flawless symmetry.
Octagon
Emerald cut
Originally designed for emeralds, later adopted for diamonds and sapphires. Light reflects in broad, dramatic flashes that celebrate the stone's depth and clarity.
Oval
Modified brilliant
Preserves more carat weight than the round cut. The elongated silhouette creates the illusion of a larger stone and looks especially striking in rings.
