Did you know that all diamonds vary in size shape and color

? The shapes of diamonds are categorized into cuts, and of those cuts each stone has a different length, width and weight. However, before I get ahead of myself, let's distinguish the difference between each cut.

Different types of diamond cuts:

Round: The round shape is the most popular of all the diamond cuts. For years diamond cutters have worked to perfect the round shape and after 100 years of trying the round shape has the best overall balance in cut, color, and clarity.

Princess: The most popular engagement ring shape, the princess cut is square and has pointed corners. If it is a near colorless diamond then color may be slightly visible in corners.

Cushion: Cushion cut diamonds have been popular for more than a century. Its rounded corners have large facets that highlight diamonds clarity. This type of cut varies in shapes of square and rectangle.

Marquis: The weight of the Marquis cut makes the diamond looks larger. Side stones that would complement the Marquis shape are pear or round shaped stones. The shape of the Marquis cut can make the fingers of the person wearing it look elongated and slender.
