A GUIDE TO DIFFERENT DIAMOND CUTS

There’s nothing more tantalizing to the eye than the glint of a finely cut diamond, the trope is commonly used in movies and media and we associate it with quality, elegance, and excellence.

But what takes a diamond from that rough, dirty seed that is pulled from the earth to what we see winking from glass windows in a department store?

 Part of this process is the cut.

THE ROUND BRILLIANT CUT

As its name suggests this cut is quite simply brilliant. Catching the light at every angle, this is the most popular cut of a diamond. Often seen around a bride’s finger, often the conversation piece at dinner parties. A diamond that spoils the competition.

The square cut is more contemporary than the traditional round. The unique style of the cut allows of light to catch on the corners as well as the middle.

THE EMERALD CUT

With its bold shape and sharp features, this ring is not for those who lacklustre. This statement diamond appears to absorb the light, making colour and inclusions more apparent in its faces. The unique feature of the emerald cut is that it makes the stone glossy, almost water-like, as it reflects and dances.
