The modified brilliant-cut pear shaped diamond has a tapering tip on one end and is a blend of a round and a marquise form. The thin end of the diamond is always pointed towards the wearer's hand. The pear shaped diamond, like the marquise and oval cuts, is available in a range of narrow to wide cuts, and has the added benefit of making the wearer's fingers appear longer and slimmer.
The heart-shaped modified brilliant-cut diamond is a one-of-a-kind and unmistakable emblem of love. Solitaire pendants and rings with heart-shaped diamonds are particularly popular. Because it is crucial that the two parts of the heart are identical, symmetry is a highly significant feature to look for when picking a heart. A bezel or three prong setting will better preserve the diamond's heart shape contour once it is set for smaller hearts.
The round cut diamond is the most common diamond shape, accounting for over 75% of all diamond sales. The round diamond is often preferable than fancy diamond forms in terms of proper light reflection, maximising potential brightness, due to the mechanics of its shape. Round diamonds are more expensive per carat than fancy forms for two reasons: their demand is extremely high, and their yield is relatively modest.
The modified brilliant-cut marquise diamonds have a football-shaped form. The name comes from the Marquise de Pompadour, for whom King Louis XIV of France is said to have had a stone fashioned to look like her wonderfully shaped mouth. The marquise diamond has one of the biggest crown surface areas of any diamond shape, carat for carat, making it a suitable choice when aiming to improve a diamond's perceived size.
The step cuts of the pavilion and the spacious, open table give the emerald cut diamond its distinct appearance. Emerald cut diamonds produce a hall-of-mirrors look, with the interplay of light and dark planes, rather than the brilliance of a brilliant-cut diamond. The emerald cut has an aesthetic appeal thanks to its sweeping lines and stunning flashes of light. The form was created specifically for cutting emeralds, hence the name.
