What Are the Most Classic Diamond Shapes?
The most classic Diamond Shapes include Round, Oval, Pear, Square, and Rectangular. Each one has unique features, such as the Oval's elongated timeless elegance and the Pear's teardrop design. However, Round Shaped Diamonds are the most popular shape due to their exceptional brilliance.
Diamond Shape refers to the physical outline or form of a diamond when viewed from above. This is different from Diamond Cut, which refers to how well the diamond's facets are crafted to reflect light.
Whether you are looking for Diamond Engagement Rings or any other type of jewelry, Diamond Shape greatly influences the overall beauty of the piece.
Round Diamonds
Round Diamonds are a timeless choice and classic shapes for Engagement Rings. This shape is admired for its clean design. Its popularity is also linked to its ability to hide flaws and enhance the diamond's natural beauty.
Known for their clean design, this shape is celebrated for having maximum brilliance while concealing imperfections. Its enduring popularity is a testament to how it enhances the diamond's natural beauty. Round Diamonds are versatile and pair beautifully with various ring settings, from simple solitaires to intricate vintage styles.
Whether in a modern or traditional design,
Round Diamond Engagement Rings remain a symbol of everlasting love and are a captivating choice for an engagement ring.
Oval Diamonds
Oval Diamonds are elongated with rounded edges. They combine the brilliance of a Round Diamond with a more modern look. This shape often creates the illusion of a larger diamond, making it appear bigger than other shapes of similar carat weight.
The Oval Cut was first introduced in the 1960s by diamond cutter Lazare Kaplan, who refined the shape for maximum shine.
Since then, Oval Diamonds have grown in popularity for their beauty and versatility. They are especially favored in engagement rings because they create a bold yet graceful statement. Oval Shaped Diamonds Eternity Bands feature a continuous circle of light. The Oval Diamond enhances the band's appearance, flattering your finger. Each diamond is carefully set side by side, inviting maximum light reflection and sparkle from every angle.

Pear Shaped Diamonds
Pear Shaped Diamonds have a unique teardrop design, blending the brilliance of a Round Diamond with the elongated elegance of a Marquise Cut diamond. This combination results in a graceful, teardrop shape with one rounded end and a pointed tip.
Pear Cut Diamonds can be worn with the pointed tip facing up or down, offering different styles to suit personal style preferences. The long shape creates a flattering effect, making the finger appear slimmer.

Square Diamonds
These are known for their geometric shape and sleek aesthetic. The most common Square Shape Diamond is the Princess-Cut diamond, which features sharp corners and a brilliant facet structure that maximizes sparkle.
Square Diamonds are also found in other variations, like the Radiant Cut, which has cropped corners and a more rectangular outline.
A well-balanced Square Diamond ensures that all sides are equal, giving the gem a polished appearance. Choosing the right setting enhances any diamond's appeal. A halo setting can add extra sparkle, while a solitaire setting highlights the diamond's clean lines.

Rectangular Shaped Diamonds
Rectangular Shaped Diamonds are a popular choice and the epitome of sophistication. Their sleek appearance exudes timeless charm.

A symmetrical diamond ensures that each side is evenly proportioned. The diamond's proportions, such as its length-to-width ratio, affect its appearance. A longer diamond exudes luxury, while more square-like proportions show a balanced approach.
