What is a Diamond Shape?
When first mined, or created, a diamond crystal has an organic, rough form. To become the finished gemstone, the rough material is cut or polished into a specific shape with multiple sparkling facets. The classic diamond is a round brilliant cut, but diamonds also come in many other shapes. These diamonds are known as “fancy shapes”, and include popular shapes like oval, emerald, and princess. Also known as a diamond cut, each shape has its own unique properties and charm. Learn more about the magic of our diamond shapes, and discover which one is the cut for you.
