Round cut
Also known as brilliant cut, the level of light
performance displayed by symmetrically balanced round shape surpasses any other
shapes. A bride who favours this classic shape is a traditionalist at heart,
and doesn't dress over the top. She is confident with her easygoing look
without spending hours in front of the mirror.

square-shaped with four pointed corners that makes it an excellent choice for a
bride with a modern sensibility. Flirty and fun, the princess is perfect for
her who always has her finger on the fashion pulse.

Asscher cut
For the vintage bride, the Asscher
cut is for her. Nearly identical to the emerald cut, this square shape produces
more brilliance than emerald cut due to larger step facets and smaller table.
She who chooses asscher diamonds would describe herself as being unique,
feminine, and elegant.
Who wears this: Jessica Alba, Gwyneth
Paltrow
Emerald cut
Inspired by the Asscher, emerald cut
is rectangular in shape with a step-cut, sleek appearance. The fewer facets
make it emits less sparkles than round diamonds but more transparent. Brides who favoured this design wear it with
confidence, thus show they are straightforward, elegant in look and open to
take risks.
Who wears this: Beyonce, Grace Kelly
Oval cut
Oval cut has the gorgeous sparkle of a round cut
diamond and perfectly symmetrical in design. Used a lot as a solitaire, it is
traditionally popular among brides with smaller hands or shorter fingers, as
the shape gives an illusion of more slender-looking fingers. She who loves this
is definitely a bold and creative person.
Who wears this: Kate Middleton, Katie Holmes
Marquise cut
Long and narrow, marquise is an oval
shape with tips, allowing the fingers to look leaner due to its elongated
appearance. The distinctive shape also makes a diamond appear larger than it
is. Thus, it appeals to her who loves being the centre of attention and
out-going.
Who wears this: Victoria Beckham, Catherine
Zeta-Jones
Pear cut
Resembling a teardrop, this hybrid
cut has the fire and beauty of a round shape and the unconventional look of
marquise. The diamond is worn by having
the narrow end point towards the fingertips, making wide fingers look more
flattering. This unique fancy diamond cut is a perfect choice for her who
considers herself adaptable, fun and adventurous.
Who wears this: Catherine Hiegal, Anne
Hathaway
Heart cut
A century-old shape symbolising love
and devotion, this romantic cut needs no explanation. Heart-shaped diamond is
usually larger than 0.5ct and finely crafted for optimum sparkle. She who
prefers to wear a heart on their fingers is usually sentimental and dreamy.
Who wears this: Joan Collins, Lady Gaga
Cushion cut
Also known as the pillow cut, a
cushion diamond gets its name from the rectangular shape with rounded corners that
resemble a pillow. It appears softer than a princess-cut but not as circular as
a round-cut, adding a touch of vintage to the ring. Brides who choose cushion
cut are effortlessly elegant and romantic.
Who wears this: Brooke Shields,
Jennifer Garner
Radiant cut
True to its name, a radiant-cut diamond has a
complete brilliant-cut facet pattern that allows extra sparkle. This diamond
gives off a beautiful and elegant alternative to princess and cushion cuts for
those preferring a rectangular shape. She who wears one is a fun, flirty and
confident person.
