To guide our patrons through the exquisite array of styles we offer, we've assembled a concise guide to the various diamond cuts we house here, to ensure the piece you select reflects your distinctive personality and aesthetic preferences.

Round

The eternally beloved round cut diamond is the epitome of timeless elegance, renowned for its exceptional brilliance and versatility. This cut maximizes light return, making it the most brilliant of all diamond shapes. Its symmetrical shape allows it to suit a variety of settings and styles, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and fine jewelry. The round cut’s enduring appeal lies in its ability to accentuate a diamond's natural sparkle and fire.

Princess

A modern classic, the princess cut is cherished for its sharp, clean lines and stunning radiance. This square-shaped diamond is designed to maximize sparkle while maintaining a chic geometric form. Its contemporary appeal makes it a favorite among those seeking a blend of traditional sparkle and modern sophistication. The princess cut is perfect for someone with a bold, fashion-forward sense of style.

Radiant

Celebrated for their fiery brilliance and crisp, clean lines, the radiant cut combines the elegance of the traditional emerald cut with the dazzling sparkle of a round. Its unique cut features a combination of step and brilliant-cut facets, allowing for exceptional light reflection. The radiant cut is an excellent choice for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a diamond's sparkle.

Oval

Boasting an elegant, elongated shape that gracefully adorns the hand, oval cut diamonds offer a sophisticated alternative to the traditional round cut. Their unique, romantic, and vintage-esque form provides a flattering effect, making the finger appear longer and slimmer. This cut combines the brilliant facets of a round diamond with a distinctive shape, making it outstanding for those seeking uniqueness and grace.

Emerald

Reminiscent of the Art Deco era, emerald cut diamonds are revered for their understated refinement and vintage charm. This cut is characterized by its open, step-cut facets and rectangular form, which create a hall-of-mirrors effect that emphasizes the diamond's clarity. The emerald cut is a testament to refined sophistication, appealing to those who appreciate a more subtle, architectural beauty in their jewelry.

Pear

With their single point and rounded end, pear shaped diamonds evoke a sense of whimsy and elegance. This unique shape combines the brilliance and fire of a round cut with the distinctive taper of a marquise, creating a teardrop silhouette that is both striking and delicate. Phenomenal for those seeking to stand out, the pear cut is a symbol of individuality and timeless style.
