Cushion Cut

The cushion cut diamond has gained popularity in the last few years. If she is attracted to this shape, she considers herself a strong contemporary woman to the world while being equally romantic and traditionally strong in her personal relationships.

Oval Shape

Woman who prefer the oval shape are fairly traditional. They like how the oval shape makes them unique, but it isn't too different than her mother's and the other engagement rings in her family. They are dependable and for the most part predictable, but do like to experience life “out of the box” every now and then.

Pear or Teardrop Shape

One who wears the pear or teardrop shape, where one side is round and the other tapers to a point, can be described as traditional with a twist. They are different than the oval diamond shape wearer who is happy just attending the party. The pear shape personality is more interested in hosting the party.

Marquise Cut

The marquise cut visually is one of the largest looking shapes for the carat weight. A woman attracted to this shape is very goal oriented and status is important to her. Making a grand entrance and a memorable first impression is what she strives for.

Emerald or Asscher Cut

The emerald (rectangular step cut) or ascher cut (square step cut) wearers are women who have a very good sense of who they are and don’t need others approval for the choices they make in life. These two cuts are attractive because they illustrate a regal temperament and quiet elegance.

Heart Shape

The heart shape diamond symbolizes romanticism. So much so, that the wearer can get herself into trouble after the honeymoon when daily life takes over. She is always seeking that pure, magical and perfect love in the story books.

Radiant Cut

Lastly, we have the radiant cut. This diamond is rectangular with cut corners in shape with the faceting similar to the princess cut.
