Princess Cut

The princess cut is a relatively new cut, square shaped with a seldom rectangular version.

Emerald Cut

It’s shape is rectangular with cut corners, the crystal clear view this cut has to offer, allows for any inclusions to be more pronounced.

Heart Shaped

The symbol of love and romance. This cut is especially rare and sought after. The quality of the shape depends on the skill of the cutter. Fewer diamonds are cut this shape due to the complexity of the design.

This is an elongated shape with pointed ends.

Asscher Cut
