At The Jewel Box at Accent, we know that every love story is unique, and choosing the right diamond shape is a big part of making your proposal unforgettable.
With bridal season in full swing, we’re here to help you explore the most popular diamond cuts and find the one that best suits your style.
Round Brilliant: Timeless Elegance
The round brilliant cut is the most classic and popular diamond shape, known for its unmatched sparkle. Designed to maximize light reflection, this cut features 58 facets that create a breathtaking display of brilliance. Perfect for those who love timeless elegance, the round brilliant diamond is ideal for solitaire, halo and vintage-inspired settings.
Princess Cut: Modern & Chic
The princess cut is a square-shaped diamond with sharp corners and incredible sparkle. It offers a contemporary, bold look while still maintaining classic elegance. This cut is perfect for those who love modern, geometric designs and want a diamond that looks stunning in both solitaire and three-stone settings.
Oval Cut: Graceful & Elongating
The oval cut diamond is a favorite among those who love a ring that elongates the finger while delivering brilliance like a round diamond. Its elongated shape makes it appear larger per carat weight, giving you more sparkle for your investment. This cut is perfect for halo settings, delicate solitaires and vintage-inspired designs.
Emerald Cut: Sophisticated & Sleek
The emerald cut diamond is known for its hall-of-mirrors effect, featuring long, clean lines that create a sophisticated, understated sparkle. It has a rectangular shape with stepped facets, making it a favorite among those who appreciate elegance with a vintage touch. This cut is ideal for classic solitaire settings and Art Deco-inspired designs.
Cushion Cut: Romantic & Vintage-Inspired
The cushion cut diamond features rounded corners and large facets, creating a soft, pillow-like shape. It’s a beautiful choice for those who love romantic, antique-style rings with a hint of modern brilliance. The cushion cut pairs beautifully with halo settings, vintage-style bands and rose gold designs.
Marquise Cut: Bold & Unique
The marquise cut diamond is distinctive with its elongated shape and pointed ends, creating a dramatic and regal look. It maximizes carat weight, making the diamond appear larger than other cuts. Ideal for those who love bold, statement-making rings, the marquise cut is stunning in solitaire and vintage-inspired settings.
Pear Cut: Elegant & Distinctive
The pear-shaped diamond combines the brilliance of a round cut with the elongated elegance of a marquise. With its teardrop shape, this cut is perfect for romantic, feminine styles and gives the illusion of longer, more slender fingers. Pear diamonds shine in halo settings, delicate solitaires and asymmetrical designs.
Radiant Cut: Sparkle & Fire
The radiant cut combines the best of both worlds—the brilliance of a round cut with the clean lines of an emerald cut. It has a bold sparkle and a slightly rectangular shape, making it perfect for those who love maximum fire and brilliance. This cut works beautifully in modern solitaires, three-stone rings and elegant halo settings.
