The Heart Bandits-Marriage Proposal Consultants receive several emails a day asking for advice regarding purchasing an engagement ring.  A question that we are frequently asked is, what cut of diamond should  I buy?  Our answer, of course, depends on the particular woman in question because we are all about personalization.  But we do find that men sometimes aren’t familiar with all of the different cuts of diamonds available.  Today we are going to share with you the many beautiful cuts of diamonds.

Round

A round cut diamond is the most popular cut and would be great for a girl that loves the traditional and classic look.

Princess

This is the most popular non-round cut because of its unique cut and pointed corners.  This ring is a great ring for someone who likes a little edge, but not too much.

Emerald

This cut is unique because it is cut with rectangular facets to create a unique optical appearance.  Because of this shape it  highlights the clarity of a diamond.

Asscher

This beautiful cut  is nearly identical to the emerald-cut, except that it is square.  This cut is a big trend right now so it is perfect for that trendsetting girlfriend of yours.

Marquise

The shape of a marquise diamond can maximize carat weight and give you a much larger-looking diamond.  This would be perfect for the girl who loves flash!

Oval

An oval diamond is similar to a round diamond. Oval diamonds are very popular as their length can accentuate long, slender fingers.

Radiant

This cut features trimmed corners which makes the radiant-cut a popular and versatile choice for jewelry. A radiant-cut looks great with either a baguette or round side-diamond setting.

Pear

This brilliant-cut diamond is also called a teardrop for its single point and rounded end.

Heart

This cut needs no explanation and is also chosen due to its symbolization of love.

Cushion

This cut is my personal favorite.  They have rounded corners and larger facets to increase their brilliance and have been popular for centuries.  They area a blend of class and trend.
