MARQUISE
The marquise diamond is a football-shaped, modified brilliant shape. Carat for carat, the marquise diamond has one of the largest surface areas of any diamond shape, making it a good choice when trying to maximize perceived size.
PEAR
The modified brilliant pear-shaped diamond is a combination of a round and a marquise shape, with a tapered point on one end.
CUSHION
The cushion shape diamond combines a square shape with rounded corners. This classic shape has been around for almost 200 years, and for the first century of its existence was the most popular diamond shape. Refinements in cut have led to a recent resurgence in popularity.
ASSCHER
The asscher diamond is similar to the emerald, but in a square shape with larger step facets, a higher crown, and a smaller table. This combination often produces more brilliance than the emerald shape.
RADIANT
The radiant shape diamond is the first rectangular shape to have a complete brilliant facet pattern applied to both the crown and pavilion, creating a vibrant and lively diamond.
