The Round Brilliant cut is the most traditional shape for engagement rings and is great for intense sparkle. The shape is that of a cone with brilliant lights bouncing around inside the top of the diamond.
Also known as Princess Cut, this contemporary style comes second in popularity to the round cut. Similar in brightness and intensity, the square cut returns a little less light, but makes up for it with a bold shape.
A good mix between the popular round and square shapes. Cushion cuts have rounded edges that soften the corners of a square stone, creating a pretty and unusual stone for setting.

The oval diamond shape is unique and elegant. The elongated design can create the illusion of longer, slimmer fingers and can appear to be slightly bigger than other shapes of equal carat weight.
The emerald shape has an elongated, rectangular shape and chiselled step cuts, the large, open surface highlights the purity and clarity of a stone. This shape has an art-deco feel and exudes understated glamour.
A tapered teardrop with extraordinary light and sparkle, the pear shaped stone is very pretty and feminine. This style of stone elongates the finger, especially when worn with the point facing toward the nail.
