Shape of the diamond is a crucial factor which decides how well the ring will go with your overall style and how beautiful you will look on your special day. There are various shapes to choose from which, if you know, will help you to select the right one.
Round Brilliant – The Round Brilliant-cut diamond is the classic and the most popular shape regarding stones of wedding rings. It has 57 facets which make it the most brilliantly sparkling and fiery. If you want to dazzle in a real way on your big day, choose this shape.
Princess – The Princess-cut diamond is a more contemporary style and is the second most popular after Round Brilliant-cut. These diamonds are square in shape or slightly rectangular with sharp corners and a range of intricate facets which enhance the inherent sparkle of the diamond.
Emerald – Emerald is a precious stone itself, but in the world of diamonds, there is a popular shape called Emerald-cut. It gives you a timeless, elegant look, with its long, lean lines. It has one rectangular cut – the relatively bigger open-table facet (top, flat) and few other facets, with which the clarity of the diamond is highlighted, more than with any other shape.
Asscher – Asscher is a striking shape, commonly known as a square emerald. It evokes an art deco feeling from the 20’s and 30’s. It was created during the turn of the 20th century; its popularity is once again increasing nowadays.
Radiant – The Radiant-cut is comparatively rare and appeals to those who seek a unique look on their big day. It combines the geometrical lines of the Emerald cut and the brilliant sparkle of the Round cut. Its signature characteristic is its trimmed corners.
Cushion – Just like Asscher, the Cushion-cut (also popularly known as pillow-cut) is also popular for over a century. It has a soft and romantic look with rounded corners and bigger facets to enhance its brilliance.
Marquise – With its brilliance and tapered points at its two ends, the Marquise shaped diamond offers a drama to your personality. When worn as a ring, it offers you a slender, elongated look, and so, is perfect for you if you have a plus size. It also increases the carat weight and appears as a larger diamond, than a round diamond of the same weight. 
Pear – If you love a shining dewdrop of dawn, you would love the Pear-shaped diamond which has the same shimmering appearance as that of a dewdrop. It is a combination of the soft, round end of Oval shape and sharp, tapered point of Marquise shape. This is an interesting choice for a bride with a versatile personality.
Oval – Those, who love their classics with a bit of edge, love Oval shape. Oval diamonds offer a lovely brilliance to a classic round diamond. Its elongated shape adds an appealing twist to the ring and accentuates the appearance of hand creating a slender look.
Heart – A Heart shape diamond is perfect for a confident woman who is all hearty. While sometimes chosen for an engagement ring, Heart-shaped diamond is a more popularly selected for pendants.
