While some may prioritize size or sparkle, there\u2019s one element of diamonds that we think is completely underappreciated: diamond shape! With so many unique shapes to choose from, Shane Co. lets you express your individuality with the largest variety of traditional and fancy-shaped diamonds, rubies and sapphires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is shape?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"All<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cshape\u201d of a diamond or other precious stone is the outline of the stone, looking at it from the top down. We typically think of 10 diamond shapes \u2014 round, cushion, princess, emerald, asscher, marquise, heart, oval, pear and radiant. Each shape is carefully cut by expert diamond cutters to obtain maximum sparkle<\/a> and create a specific style. Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of our favorite diamond shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Round<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Round diamonds are by far the most popular diamond shape, taking up 75% of the market for all diamonds sold. They look great with any style of engagement ring setting and are considered the go-to for maximum sparkle. The mechanics of the round shape allow for the perfect reflection of light, if cut with the right quality standards. They are also the only non-fancy \u201ctraditional\u201d shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cushion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Cushion<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cushion cut stones get their name from their resemblance to pillows \u2014 square with rounded corners. They tend to have an \u201cantique\u201d feel to them and look particularly appealing when paired with vintage-style settings. For the first century it was around, cushion cut diamonds were actually the most popular diamond shape, surpassing round cuts until the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Princess<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Princess<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Princess cut diamonds were created in 1980 and are now the\nmost popular fancy cut, particularly for engagement rings. With a square,\nsometimes slightly <\/em>rectangular shape,\nthey do a beautiful job of reflecting light and creating sparkle. Like round\ncut diamonds, they tend to blend well with almost all engagement ring setting\nstyles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerald<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Emerald<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Emerald cut stones are rectangular-shaped, with unique\nfacets that produce a \u201chall of mirrors\u201d effect, as opposed to the traditional\nsparkle of a round or similar cut. This emphasizes the dark and light areas,\noffering drama and elegance to this unique shape. If you\u2019re looking to elongate\nthe hand, emerald diamond shapes are the way to go \u2014 just remember that\ninclusions are often easier to see in an emerald cut, so you may need a higher\nclarity level for that perfect-looking stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marquise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Marquise<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The marquise cut is similar to a football shape and was named\nafter the Marquise of Pompadour. Their narrow shape gives off the illusion of\nlength and size, and with the largest crown surface area of any diamond shape,\nthey are great to maximize your budget for size. They can vary in narrowness\ndepending on the cut and look great in many engagement ring settings, including\nsolitaire, three-stone, and pav\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Heart<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Heart-shaped stones are exactly what they sound like \u2014 the\nwell-known symbol of love cut from a diamond. While less popular in traditional\nengagement rings, they can often be found ornamenting right-hand rings, pendant\nnecklaces and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oval<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Oval<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ovals combine the traditional brilliance of a round diamond\nwith a more contemporary, standout cut. They also have an elongated shape, which\ncan sometimes give the illusion of making them appear larger and lengthen the\nfinger of those wearing them. They look particularly beautiful in a solitaire\nsetting, but can easily blend into any setting because of their sophisticated\nshape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Pear<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a combination of a round and marquise shape, pear-shaped diamonds offer the best of both worlds. They provide the finger-slimming effects of the marquise with the superior sparkle of the round cut. If you\u2019re looking for a diamond shape that offers uniqueness and chic style, pear cuts are the way to go. Whether it\u2019s partnered with baguette side stones, a gorgeous halo, or taking center stage in a solitaire setting, pear-shaped stones always make an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radiant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Radiant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Radiant cut diamonds are a cross between a cushion and\nprincess cut, with a square shape and cropped, angular corners. They provide\namazing sparkle and a vibrant stone that offers a little something different.\nWith this simple but not understated shape, solitaire or pav\u00e9 settings will\nbring out the particular sparkle of radiant stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
