The shape of a diamond sets the character of the whole piece long before you think about carat or setting. Here is how the favourites read on the hand.
The classics
Round brilliant is the most reflective cut — timeless and forgiving. Oval keeps that brilliance but elongates the finger. Emerald, with its long step facets, trades sparkle for a calm, architectural clarity.
The statements
Pear and marquise are dramatic and slimming; cushion is soft and vintage; princess is crisp and contemporary. There is no wrong answer — only the one you keep coming back to.
