Tired of the same old diamond shapes? Check out these totally new, breathtaking diamonds for an engagement ring as unique as you are.
The Rose Collection:
Rosecut diamonds are all about luster. Instead of refracting 100 percent of the light that enters them to create mad sparkle, rose cuts seem to gather light to create a lustrous glow on your finger.
This cut is all about showcasing a diamond’s amazing clarity and these rose cut oval and rose cut pear shaped diamonds are the most exciting thing to happen to rose cuts in over 500 years.
What makes a rose cut different?
The underside of the diamond features a flat base rather a point like other diamond shapes.
This changes how rose cut diamonds play with light and allows rose cuts to be mounted lower on the finger.
New Rose Diamond Cuts: Ovals & Pears
The top diamonds pictured below are rose cuts. Beneath them are traditional pear and oval cuts.
New Antique Cushion Diamond Cuts:
Antique cushion cuts have larger facets than modern cushion cuts. And while modern cushions come to a point at the diamond’s bottom to help maximize sparkle, antique cushion cuts feature an open culet at the underside of the diamond.
These changes result in a chunkier, softer, more romantic looking stone, earning this cut the nicknames of “Pillow Cut” and “Candlelight Cut.”
Here, the antique cushion is below the modern cushion cut diamond.
New European Round Diamond Cuts:
Like the antique cushion cut, the European round features larger facets and an open culet (meaning the underside comes to a small flat plateau instead of a point).
These changes allow a European round to have a more dynamic pattern of light and dark (and a more vintage feel) than a modern round brilliant, which is all about bright sparkle.
Here, the European round is pictured above the modern round brilliant.
New Octagonal Diamond Cut:
These eight-sided diamonds make an incredible alternative to traditional round diamonds.
Just as symmetrical along every axis, their many facets maximize sparkle and clarity to draw your eye to a center diamond that is absolutely transfixing.
New Modified Radiant Diamond Cut:
Criss-cross facets create mesmerizing lines of sparkle that dazzle in entirely unique ways. This is a brand-new diamond cut, but it’s rectangular profile already feels art-deco chic and timeless.
In the photo on the left, the Modified Radiant is in the middle, between an emerald cut and a rectangular radiant cut diamond.
New Square Radiant Diamond Cut:
Somewhere between a square cut and an Asscher cut, the square radiant cut offers star-like flashes of light while showcasing clarity more than standard square cuts do. Beveled corners bring a pleasing softness to the popular square diamond shape.
In the picture on the left, the square radiant is in the middle. The top diamond is a square cut, and the bottom is an Asscher cut diamond.
In the right photograph, the Asscher cut is in the top right, followed by the Square Radiant, a cushion cut diamond, and the classic square cut.
