Bright
From above, it appears round and has 57 facets, 33 on the crown and 24 on the base. It is the favorite because it reveals the gemstone's maximum brilliance.
Marquise
The most unusual cut for a diamond. Its unique feature: its oval shape tapers on both sides and tapers to a point.
Pear
It has one rounded end and one sharp end. Its history dates back to the 15th century thanks to the invention of a diamond polishing machine.
Emerald
Rectangular, with great clarity and less brilliance than the brilliant, it is distinguished by the three concentric rows at its ends.
Oval
The oval-cut diamond has been around for hundreds of years, but the modern version appeared in 1957, when a sophisticated cutting technique was developed to bring out the best in the stones.
Heart
Its name suggests it all: it's heart-shaped. The remarkable thing about this carving is the great skill it requires from the carver.
Radiant
With 70 facets, it combines the brilliance of a brilliant with the elegance of an emerald cut. And that's because it maximizes brilliance and fire (rainbow flashes).
Princess
It's the square version of the brilliant. This cut typically has 76 facets, but a new design was registered in 2013 that reaches 129.
