DIAMONDS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE AND ARE ONE OF THE MOST SUGGESTED GEMSTONES IN THE WORLD. BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE ONLY FAMILIAR WITH THE CLASSIC ROUND DIAMOND SHAPE WHEN IT COMES TO DIAMONDS. BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CUTS THAT CAN GIVE THE DIAMOND A COMPLETELY UNIQUE AND PERSONAL EXPRESSION?
HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE NINE MOST POPULAR CUT FOR DIAMONDS
ROUND CUT
The round cut shape is the most popular and sold cut shape for diamonds. This cut shape is known for its symmetry and balance, creating the classic brilliant shape. The round brilliant shape is also known for its many facets and can therefore give the diamond a greater number of reflections. This cut shape is considered the most versatile and can be used to create elegant and classic jewelry, such as engagement rings and necklaces. Click here to view a ring with a round cut diamond.
OVAL CUT
This grinding shape is a variation of the round grinding shape, but with a more elongated shape. This cut shape is known for its elegance, but also for giving the illusion of a longer finger. The oval cut shape has a similar faceting to the round brilliant shape, but its elongated shape creates the visual effect of a larger stone. This makes this cut an ideal choice for jewelry where a larger stone is desired but still needs to keep the price down. Click here to view a ring with an oval cut diamond.
MARQUISE CUT
The marquise cut is a beautiful, long and pointed shape often used in vintage-style jewelry. This cut shape can give the fingers a slimmer look and add a unique and glamorous touch to any piece of jewelry. The Marquise cut shape has a unique light-reflecting effect, as its shape creates an increased light refraction and sparkling effect, especially when placed in a chain or ring with side stones. This cut shape is also known to give the illusion of a larger stone than its actual carat weight, which can make it an economical choice for jewelry with large stones.

Pear grinding shape is a combination of the round and marquise shape. This creates a beautiful drop shape that can be used to create a unique and dramatic look. This cut shape can give a sleek and elegant look to the fingers, and its asymmetrical shape can give a visual effect of a larger diamond. The pear cut shape is often used in earrings and necklaces, as its shape can create a beautiful dangling effect. Clickhere to view a pear cut diamond ring.

In my designs, I have used several of these grinding forms to create diversity on the jewelery market in Denmark. Often you only see the classic round brilliant on the jewelery market, but by using other cut shapes, you can create jewelery with unique and personal expressions. I have used an oval cut to create elegant earrings, a heart cut for romantic engagement rings and a cushion cut for vintage style necklaces. By using different forms of grinding, you can create jewelery for different styles and tastes, thus meeting the wishes and needs of different customers.
