It has a circular outline with 58 facets, allowing for maximum light reflection. The round shape is versatile, suitable for all types of jewellery and complements various settings.

Shop Emerald Cut


3. Emerald Cut: The emerald cut features a rectangular shape with cut corners and step-cut facets. It emphasizes clarity and showcases a unique hall-of-mirrors effect due to its large, open table.

Shop Asscher Cut

Shop Marquise Cut

7. Marquise Cut: The marquise cut is a long, narrow diamond with pointed ends, resembling the shape of a football. It creates a flattering, elongating effect on the finger and maximizes carat weight.

Shop Radiant Cut

9. Radiant Cut: The radiant cut is a square or rectangular diamond with cropped corners. It has a brilliant faceting pattern and offers a great balance between brilliance and durability.
