Round brilliant cut diamonds are distinguished by numerous facets, shaped to maximise the white light returned through the top of the diamond, significantly increasing its fire and brilliance.
The sophisticated oval cut diamond is an elegant and unique choice for an engagement ring. An oval diamond can be cut with the same number of facets as a brilliant cut giving the potential for as much brilliance as the classic shape. The elongated shape of the oval diamond means that it can often appear larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight!
The pear shaped diamond is a modified brilliant diamond. Pear shaped diamonds are also known as teardrops, and are a hybrid between the marquise cut and the round brilliant diamond. We individually inspect each pear shaped diamond and analyse the cut dimensions to ensure maximum brilliance and scintillation.
The emerald cut diamond is distinguished by the step cuts of its pavilion and large open table. Emerald cut diamonds produce a hall-of-mirrors effect, with the interplay of light and dark planes. The long lines and dramatic flashes of light give the emerald cut an elegant appeal.
