Shapes of Pink Diamonds

Like near-colourless diamonds, pink diamonds can be cut into almost any shape. We only used to see modern round brilliant cut pink diamonds but recently we have been lucky enough to source pink diamonds in many different shapes.

Round Brilliant
As with other diamonds, the modern round brilliant cut remains the most popular cut.

Heart Shape

The heart shape is a modification of the round brilliant cut. We think it suits fancy coloured diamonds better than it does near-colourless ones.

Most octagonal shaped diamonds are step-cut and this cut is known as the emerald cut, however the pink diamond in our photograph is a radiant cut octagon. The radiant cut is a modification of the brilliant cut, and produces a far more attractive stone.

The cushion cut is an old cut, that doesn't have as many facets as the more modern cuts. It could almost be described as a 'square oval'!

Princess Cut

The princess cut is the most successful of the modern cuts developed for diamonds. It combines the square shape with the brilliance of a brilliant cut.

Marquise or Navette Cut

The marquise cut is also an adaptation of the round brilliant cut, which we believe also looks better in fancy coloured diamonds than it does in plain vanilla.
