Cushion cut: The cushion cut is one of the oldest diamond shapes. In a sense the cushion cut was a step in the evolution toward the round cut. The cushion cut is a cross between a rectangle and an oval; it has a pillow shape, and it is also called an “antique cut”. The cushion cut diamonds can vary significantly in size and dimensions. They all have rounded edges, but some are square, some are slightly rectangular, and some are rectangular with very elongated sides.The first two shown here are modern cushion cuts and the third is an antique cushion.

Emerald cut: An emerald cut (originally developed for the gem of the same name) is rectangular with cropped corners (like the Asscher cut) and long, stair-step-like facets. The name comes from the fact that this type of cut is the most common cut for emeralds.

Asscher cut: The Asscher cut is named for the cutters who developed it, the Asscher brothers of Holland. Asscher cut diamonds have a square shape with truncated corners. The corners are cropped in order to strengthen the diamond. An Asscher is similar to an emerald cut, but square, so it looks octagonal. The Asscher cut is historically one of the less common diamond shapes, but it has increased in popularity in recent years. It is extremely rare for a larger diamond to be given an Asscher cut.

Oval cut: Of all fancy cuts, the oval cut has the most in common with the brilliant round, both in terms of general appearance and technical properties. Oval cut diamonds can also differ from one to the next in their length-to-width ratio, some having a more “plump” appearance, while others appear longer and thinner.

Radiant cut: Radiant cut diamonds are another square cut, with the corners cropped to a somewhat greater extent than they are on emerald or Asscher cuts. Radiant cuts also have a distinctive geometric facet pattern, with a diagonal cross pattern often visible in the center and they are popular for fancy colored diamonds like the yellow diamond shown below. Radiant cuts can range from square to slightly rectangular. Generally, the closer a radiant cut is to a perfect square, the better it will look.

Princess cut: The princess cut has a very distinctive shape, with a base that is usually square and rounded, slightly protruding corners. The facets of a princess cut are arranged in such a way that the face of the diamond is divided into four triangular sides. Its popularity is largely due to the fact that it tends to reflect light better and provide a more brilliant overall appearance than other square cuts.

Heart cut: A heart-shaped diamond resembles its name, so the diamond is in the shape of a literal heart. Heart shapes need to be very intricate in order to achieve the best visual results. As such, its recommended that you purchase a diamond of this shape only if it has a very high “cut” rating.

Pear cut: The pear cut, also known occasionally as the teardrop cut, features one rounded end and one end with more of a point. An added bonus to the pear shape is that if you wear it with the point facing away from your body, it makes your finger look long and slender.
