Diamond Shapes

When choosing the perfect diamond for your engagement ring or jewelry piece, one of the most important factors to consider is the shape of the diamond. The shape influences the overall aesthetic of the piece and plays a role in how light interacts with the diamond, contributing to its brilliance.

Diamonds are cut and polished in various shapes and sizes to get the maximum yield from the rough stone. Originally round diamond was the most popular shape due to its brilliance, scintillation and sparkle. But oval and emerald diamond shapes, among others, are also becoming increasingly popular.

Round Brilliant Diamond

The round brilliant diamond is the most traditional and widely loved diamond shape. Representing approximately 80% of all loose diamonds sold today, the round diamond has 58 facets, 33 on the crown (top) and 25 on the pavilion (bottom).

A round diamond cut to ideal parameters produces the most brilliance and sparkle, which is why round diamonds are frequently used in solitaire engagement rings. At Milanj Diamonds, we feature Hearts and Arrows Diamonds, offering a stunning selection of the finest round diamonds, ensuring you get the highest quality for your ring.

Oval Diamond

The oval diamond is an elongated version of the brilliant cut and is known for its elegant, timeless appearance. While it is not as popular as a solitaire engagement ring diamond, it is highly sought after in three-stone settings, where it truly shines. When cut well, the oval diamond has exceptional brilliance and fire, creating a captivating sparkle.

Because of its graceful elongated shape, the oval diamond is seen as a classical and sophisticated choice. The setting you choose for your oval diamond can significantly enhance its beauty. Pairing it with a pave diamond ring or smaller flanking diamonds adds to the overall elegance.

Cushion Shape Diamond

The cushion diamond derives its name from its rounded, pillow-like shape. Often crafted for maximum weight retention, the cushion diamond is a perfect choice for micro-pave or halo engagement rings, as it can appear larger than its actual weight, offering excellent value for its size.

Cushion diamonds are especially favored in vintage or antique inspired designs and are known for their old-world charm and appeal. The cushion cut has garnered a dedicated fanbase for its captivating look, making it one of the most popular shapes in contemporary engagement rings.

Princess Shape Diamond

The princess diamond is the second most popular diamond shape after the round diamond. Traditionally, princess cut diamonds were not known for maximizing brilliance due to their four corners, which could allow light to leak out. However, at Milanj Diamonds, we've perfected the Signature Princess Diamond, focusing on enhancing its brilliance while maintaining the classic square shape.

The princess cut is perfect for those who love the look of a modern, elegant diamond with sharp, clean edges and contemporary appeal.

Emerald Diamond

The emerald diamond features a step-cut design, which gives it a unique look compared to the more popular round diamond. The emerald cut has fewer facets (only 25), which results in less fire, but more clarity is visible, making it ideal for diamonds with higher clarity grades.

While the emerald diamond doesn’t have the same intense sparkle as other shapes, its sophisticated, sleek appearance makes it a top choice for those seeking an heirloom-quality, statement-making piece. Popular among celebrities and fashion elites, the emerald diamond is perfect for a fashion-forward individual.

Asscher Diamond

Similar to the emerald cut, the Asscher diamond has a square shape with a stepped cut, but it boasts a greater depth. It was originally crafted by Joseph Asscher, the renowned diamond cutter who was commissioned to cut the Cullinan Diamond, the world’s largest diamond.

The Asscher cut is an elegant, vintage-inspired shape that has recently seen a revival in modern diamond jewelry. This shape is ideal for those looking for a truly unique and timeless piece.

Pear Shape Diamond

Often referred to as the "Teardrop of the Gods", the pear shape diamond combines the best features of both the oval and marquise cuts. The pear shape is known for its elegant taper at the tip and rounded edges, making it an exquisite choice for solitaire rings or designs with side stones.

A pear shape diamond is a statement of refinement and style, offering a unique yet timeless appearance. It is often chosen by those who want a blend of classic beauty and modern flair.

Radiant Diamond

The radiant diamond is a hybrid between the round and emerald cuts, offering both brilliance and clarity. This shape features 70 facets, either square or rectangular, which provide a beautiful sparkle, making the radiant diamond a stunning choice for engagement rings.

Although it has faded somewhat in popularity in recent years, finely cut radiant diamonds are making a strong comeback, particularly for those seeking a unique twist on a classic look.

Marquise Diamond

The marquise diamond is known for its elongated shape with pointed ends, often associated with royalty and luxury. Its shape makes the finger appear longer, and its large surface area gives it the appearance of a much larger diamond.

An important consideration when choosing a marquise diamond is the length-to-width ratio. The ideal ratio is 1.8:1 to 2:1, which ensures optimal brilliance without the "bow-tie effect"—a dark area at the center of the stone. When cut well, the marquise diamond offers exceptional brilliance and elegance.

Heart Shape Diamond

The heart shape diamond is a symbol of love and romance. It is essentially a pear shape diamond with a cleft at the top, forming a heart. Cutting a heart shape diamond requires great precision, as even a slight mistake can affect its overall appearance.

Heart-shaped diamonds are unique and full of sentiment, making them perfect for an engagement ring or a special piece of jewelry for a loved one. Symmetry is key for a heart-shaped diamond to ensure its beauty and brilliance.
