Round Brilliant Cut

Round brilliant cut is by and large the most recognized and needed cut for engagement rings. This shape has great features for light performance, adorn with shocking brilliance & fire. The round brilliant cut is very popular, and it will always be in fashion no matter what type of ring it is. Measuring 57 to 59 facets, it radiates light wonderfully well to offer a brilliant sparkle.

Princess Cut

The shape of the princess cut diamond is square with cuts along the corner. This modern cut provides superior light performance while providing a balance of brilliance and fire. People have often chosen this type of shade, and this trend has gained even more popularity in the recent past. The princess cut tends to have a different kind of beauty which makes it ideal for couples in search of a more modern design.

 

Cushion Cut

Cushion cut diamonds have square brilliant cutting patterns with round outlines giving it the name since the outline looks like a cushion. This traditional style will appeal to couples who want this simple, timeless look; the typical shape of diamond cuts of previous years. Cushion cut diamonds appear to have a good brilliance, fire, and dispersion putting on a good light show.

 

Emerald Cut

The emerald cut diamond comes in a rectangular form though it has cut corners. Very popular and preferred by Hall of Fame members, this cut raises the beauty of the clarity of the diamond and makes it perfect to be viewed. Since it is cut with fewer facets, the light illuminating the diamond and the light coming out is a rather enchanting process which makes it so fascinating.

 

Asscher Cut

Ascher cut diamond is a square emerald cut diamond with more rise and less table. This traditional style of cut is greatly valued due to its brilliance and resistance to external influences. Also like the emerald cut, the fancy shape of the Asscher cut with its set of facet patterns ensures a dreamy play on the light on the diamond.

 

Oval Cut

Oval cut diamonds are essentially a cross between round wonders and a different shape, elongated to say the least. This is a slimming and stunning shave which makes fingers stand out and compliment any engagement ring excellently. Oval cut diamonds are excellent when it comes to brilliance and that added sparkle that people desire.

Radiant Cut

The radiant cut diamond is designed in a square/rectangular form having cut corners and resembling the princess cut in facet. This is offering great brilliance and fire and is perhaps the most modern cut in the group. The radiant cut is also arresting and directly displays the facet and charm of the diamond, and makes it ideal for engagement contexts.
