Understanding Diamond Shapes: What Shape is Just for You?

Diamonds come in plenty of shapes with style and sparkle all different in their own little ways. Getting the right one will not only ensure a mined diamond but possibly even a fabulous lab-grown one; the right one speaks to just the depth of your taste at which you desire. Speaking about personality, we identify this through the help of the following guide on some of the most popular kinds.

1. Round Cut Diamond

A classic cut known for excellent sparkle is the round cut. This shape will match all types of jewelry and metal settings for a timeless look. Lab-grown and mined rounds, so versatile and bright, are available.

2. Princess Cut Diamond

The princess is modern and square with glitz and an edge all in one. It comes perfectly for engagement rings; the gold and platinum pair well. Lab-created diamonds in the princess cuts offer a quality and reasonably priced option.

3. Emerald Cut Diamond

The emerald cut diamond has an open, antique look with step cuts with a hall of mirrors effect that emphasizes clarity. It is a statement jewelry piece in rings and pendants, particularly in finer mined and lab-grown diamonds.

4. Oval Diamond Cut

The oval is a stretched-out shape and is often used in engagement rings as it is extremely flattering to the fingers. Its surface area increases in both mined and grown diamonds, creating a larger view and a more brilliant glitter.

5. Marquise Cut Diamond

The marquise cut is dramatic and stretched out with length that will add carat weight and give an old-world appearance. Marquise diamonds are oftentimes suggested for their gleeful style and statement in rings.

6. Cushion Cut Diamond

The cushion cut is square or rectangular with rounded edges, which makes it a vintage look combined with modern appeal. It is one of the most popular shapes due to its warmth and classic look and is available in both mined and lab-grown.

7. Radiant Cut Diamond

The radiant cut is a combination of the emerald outline and round diamond facets for a balanced brilliance. This is one of the popular choices among those looking for a unique yet classic look in all types of jewelry.

8. Pear Cut Diamond

The pear-cut diamond is a combination of the round and marquise shape, creating an elegant teardrop design. It makes a strong statement in rings and pendants.

9. Asscher Cut Diamond

The Asscher cut diamond has a square shape and step cuts that give it a sophisticated, art deco style, ideal for vintage settings and those who appreciate symmetry.

10. Heart Cut Diamond

The heart cut is the one that's classically so perfect for a gift to be romantic in nature, and the only shape distinctive enough to stand out if one needs it to symbolize the sentimentality their piece holds.

Lab-Grown vs. Mined Diamonds

This preference to choose mined over lab-grown is one based entirely on individual values and a budget, but some points of comparison include:

• Environment: Lab-grown diamonds possess a much more sustainable outlook and consume fewer resources.

• Cost: Lab diamonds are often costlier, yet their elegance and resilience are sometimes the same.

• Quality: Both are true diamonds in terms of composition, therefore the same for fire and life.
