Know your BFFs

As Nicole Kidman's character, Satine, in the movie

, Moulin Rogue, said "A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend!" There are so many shapes of our sparkling friends to be chosen to take our high-fashion looks raised up a notch.

Every diamond has its own story, and it can be told through various shapes and sizes. The diamond cutter's art is to carve these crystals into gems of stunning and whimsical beauty. The cutter's skill is of great importance to allow a raw diamond to fully bloom into its greatest size with the fewest flaws and the most brilliance.

The most popular cuts perhaps the round brilliant diamond that came into existence roughly 60 years ago. This shape accounts for more than 75% of diamonds sold today. Round diamonds were and are not always cut as Brilliants. A brilliant cut needs to include 58-facets; divided among its crown (top), girdle (middle top) and pavilion (base). The result of which, if well cut, is a firing gem that shines with brilliance on every designer jewelry products.

When it comes to polishing and the trade, the pear cut occupies the second place after the brilliant. Aesthetically, it is a very flattering cut in the shape of a water drop. The round part glitters the most, while the luminosity has difficulty reflecting to the point because the angles of the bottom facets are no longer than 40 degrees. The 'Heart-Shaped Modified Brilliant', is a modifications of the traditional round brilliant configuration. Heart-shaped brilliants typically contain 59 facets.

Square shaped with a seldom rectangular version, the princess cut is a relatively new cut blessed with numerous sparkling facets. It often finds its way into engagement rings or earrings. This design is very well suited for long fingers and is often accompanied by triangular stones at its sides.

Don't be fooled with designer cheap prices on diamonds, because the real best friends' did not come with such low prices. But when you find the right one, it will make you shine for the world to see.
