Round Cut Diamond (Round)
The round brilliant cut diamond is a popular choice for engagement rings and is a well-studied diamond shape in the industry. For nearly a century, diamond cutters have been using advanced optical theories and precise mathematical calculations to optimize the fire and brilliance of round diamonds. In addition, round diamonds offer more flexibility in balancing cut, color, and clarity while still maintaining the fire and brilliance you desire. Explore Round Diamonds

Pear Cut Diamond (Pear)
The pear cut, also known as the teardrop or pendant shape, combines the advantages of both oval and marquise cuts. More and more women are favoring pear-shaped designs, so I rank it second. It looks particularly beautiful on women with slender fingers. When selecting, ensure the diamond's length-to-width ratio falls between 1.45 and 1.75. Explore Pear Diamonds

Heart Cut Diamond (Heart)
The heart shape is arguably the most romantic choice and, while some may find it cliché, it is a uniquely direct symbol of love. For heart-shaped diamonds, a four-prong setting or simple pave setting is preferable to avoid compromising the shape's appearance. When selecting a heart-shaped diamond, the length-to-width ratio should be between 0.9 and 1.10. Explore Heart Diamonds

Princess Cut Diamond (Princess)
The princess cut diamond is natural, wise, and elegant. Its popularity as an engagement ring is second only to the round cut. The unique cut enhances the agility of the intelligent woman who wears it. When choosing a princess cut diamond, ensure the length-to-width ratio is between 1 and 1.05. Explore Princess Cut Diamonds

Cushion Cut Diamond (Cushion)
Cushion cut diamonds, which have been around for a century, feature rounded corners and larger facets, enhancing the diamond's brightness. Similar to emerald cuts, attention should be paid to clarity grades and inclusion placement. For diamonds over one carat, avoid those with clarity grades below VS. If the proportions of a cushion cut diamond are imbalanced, it can easily become rectangular. Especially for ladies who prefer Chaumet designs, ensure the cushion is ideally square, otherwise, it may appear tilted. The length-to-width ratio of a square cushion cut diamond should be between 1.00 and 1.05. If you prefer a rectangular shape, consider a length-to-width ratio greater than 1.15.

Emerald Cut Diamond (Emerald)
Emerald cut diamonds are well-suited for diligent, straightforward, and strong-willed women. Its unique rectangular pavilion and facets create a unique optical effect, showcasing a sharp contrast between the diamond's facets and the dark metal. However, flaws in the diamond are more easily visible, so it's crucial to choose diamonds with high clarity and good color for this cut. The length-to-width ratio should be between 1.30 and 1.40.

Asscher Cut Diamond (Asscher)
The Asscher cut resembles an emerald cut but in a square shape, giving it a very formal appearance. It suits those who are well-organized. When purchasing diamonds over one carat, avoid those with clarity grades below VS as flaws will be more noticeable. This shape is popular for colored diamonds. When selecting, ensure the length-to-width ratio is between 1.00 and 1.05 for a square shape. Explore Asscher Cut Diamonds

Radiant Cut Diamond (Radiant)
Many people confuse the radiant cut with other shapes, but its most notable feature is its truncated corners. It's a versatile choice among fancy shapes, especially when paired with round diamonds. When selecting, aim for a length-to-width ratio between 1.00 and 1.05. If you prefer a longer rectangular shape, choose a length-to-width ratio greater than 1.10. Explore Radiant Cut Diamonds

Oval Cut Diamond (Oval)
Oval cut diamonds share the same brilliant fire as round diamonds, and their length can make the wearer's fingers appear more slender and delicate. Oval cut diamonds are also very popular. When selecting an oval cut diamond, the length-to-width ratio should be between 1.33 and 1.66. Explore Oval Cut Diamonds

Marquise Cut Diamond (Marquise)
