Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Round.aspx The most popular of all cuts the round brilliant in its Ideal proportions is designed to give maximum scintillation, beauty and fire. Rounds make up the vast majority of diamonds found in engagement rings and are popular as stud earrings and in pendants. It is comprised of 57 or 58 facets; the Brilliant cut follows more naturally the rough diamond crystal shape, and thus is most popular for cutting due to the beauty it returns. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Princess.aspx The Princess Cut is relatively new and has quickly become one of the most popular of the fancy shaped diamonds, due to its very attractive cut. Its beautiful brilliance and unique cut makes it a favourite for engagement rings. The princess has pointed corners and is traditionally square in shape. Some people like the Princess because it is square or rectangular and yet has much of the sparkle of a Round Brilliant Cut. The proportions are considered better the more square the stone is cut, with exact 90 degree internal angle on each corner. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Emerald.aspx The Emerald Cut is a very bold and solid feeling cut. The Emerald cut uses a series of flat rectangular facets stepping down off the table to give it a unique brilliance, quite different to that of a Round or curved shaped cut. The flat planes of the outside edges allow for a variety of side stones shapes. Typical pairings would be two or three side baguettes, two half-moons, and other smaller Emeralds, but not Trillions, as their sparkle makes the center emerald cut look flat. A more traditional shape, the emerald is not as popular as it used as it once was, but has an old world elegance to it. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Radiant.aspx The Radiant cut diamond is considered the father of branded fancy cut diamonds with a birth over 20 years ago. Originally protected by patent, the design is now public domain. It's the first cut to have complete brilliant fact pattern applied to both the crown & pavilion and as such presents a much more dazzling & brilliant diamond than the emerald cut. The same ratio of 1:1.5 will provide the most pleasing emerald shape but the square shape has become very popular recently. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Heart.aspx Romantic perfection for the special occasions. The Heart shaped brilliant is the is the ultimate symbol of love and a huge hit on Valentines day. Most Heart Shape Diamonds are nearly round. The heart shape is one of those special cuts that follow more human and emotional values. The technical benefit is that a heart shape diamond has a roundish pavilion and if well cut and proportioned can drive the sparkle and scintillation back out of the diamond. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Marquise.aspx The Marquise is a slender striking cut if well proportioned and popular for "up market" designer pieces. The shape lends it self to being visually bigger with a bigger table spread for carat weight than traditional cuts, it has a line of beauty that can be used running up and down the finger and so is an excellent option if you want a big, long look for less money. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Oval.aspx The oval cut is also a particularly beautiful shape and if well proportioned gives great scintillation and fire. A well cut oval diamond can be almost as bright as a well cut Brilliant or round shaped diamond as the angles for cutting are closer to that of a brilliant cut diamond. Sat, 13 December 2008 16:52:00 GMT http://www.qualitydiamonds.co.uk/Diamond/Pear.aspx The pear shaped brilliant diamond is based upon the traditional configuration of the round brilliant diamond. More than other fancy shapes, length-to-width ratio is a matter of taste when it comes to pear shaped diamonds. Because pears may be used for engagement rings, suites in necklaces, dangles in earrings, and integral parts of custom designs, a wide variety of shapes is considered desirable.
