Oval cut diamonds have an elegant, elongated appearance and are perfect for those who want something different than the traditional round diamond but gravitate towards the soft rounded edges. Ovals are also one of the most popular diamond cuts as they offer more finger coverage in the length than most other diamond cuts.
This makes an oval diamond centre stone an excellent choice for those who want to complement their longer nails or fingers.
Round diamond cuts are historically the most popular diamond cut. They have a classic, timeless look that truly pairs well with any style engagement ring setting. Round diamonds are also the most brilliant cut, offering a bit more sparkle and higher light performance than all other diamond cuts.
Cushion cut diamonds are also one of the most popular diamond cuts, they have a soft, pillow-like appearance and come in both square and elongated shapes. There are different techniques when it comes to the cutting style of cushion-cut stones including brilliant-cut and antique cut. The different cuts make the choose of the right cushion cut diamond for your engagement ring that much harder!
Radiant cut diamonds are incredibly popular diamond cuts, especially for those who are looking for more finger coverage. Radiant cut diamonds have parallel sides and cut corners that provide an amazing balance of sparkle and finger coverage.
This cut provides different aspects of both the emerald and round shapes.
