What is the shape of your love?

Whether you’re drawn to the classic brilliance of a Round Cut or the vintage-style allure of a Cushion Cut Diamond, the shape you choose should talk directly to your heart while appealing to your sense of style.

THE EMERALD CUT


Sleek and elegant, the Emerald Cut’s stepped facets highlight a Diamond’s clarity and depth, while its broad planes create a mirror-like effect evoking Art Deco charm. It’s ideal for slim bands or those with accent stones, as well as a refined way to embrace understated luxury.

THE CUSHION CUT


The epitome of vintage glamour, this captivating cut is a descendant of the “old mine cut” from centuries past; a square or rectangular shape with gently rounded corners. It carefully balances the Diamond’s brilliance and fire (the vibrant flashes of colour), making it a beautiful cut for romantic engagement or wedding rings.

The brilliant round cut


This classic shape is celebrated for its unmatched brilliance as its 58 facets are meticulously designed for maximum light reflection. A classic choice for any setting, this versatile, enduringly popular cut boasts timeless appeal.

THE OVAL CUT


Bold yet graceful, the Oval Cut offers an elegant twist on a classic round style. Its elongated shape creates the illusion of slender fingers, while rounded edges ensure head-turning brilliance. Whether featured as a solitaire or accented with smaller stones, it’s always a sophisticated choice.

THE MARQUISE CUT


This alluring cut originated in the 18th century when King Louis XV commissioned it as a gift for his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour. As marquise-cut Diamonds have a larger surface area, they appear larger than other cuts of the same carat weight. Its unique, elongated style creates the illusion of a longer, slimmer finger.

The pear cut


This opulent shape, also known as the Teardrop Cut, combines the finger-flattering elegance of a Marquise Cut with the brilliance of a Round Cut. It creates the illusion of a larger gemstone and looks equally beautiful as a solitaire or in a halo setting. Its tapered silhouette makes it the ultimate cut to enhance with side stones.
