Oval-shaped diamonds are the most popular fancy diamond shape, combining the brilliance of the round cut with a stylish elongated design. With the same number of facets as round diamonds, oval diamonds offer superb sparkle and light return. Their elongated shape creates an illusion of greater size, making them an appealing option for those who desire a larger appearance. Available in various ratios, oval diamonds range from shorter and rounder to thinner and longer, catering to diverse personal preferences.
Cushion cut diamonds, often referred to as pillow diamonds, feature a unique square shape with rounded corners. While they may not exhibit the same level of brilliance as round brilliant cuts, cushion cuts are known for their captivating fire and sparkle. This cut is an excellent choice for those seeking a softer, more romantic aesthetic in square or rectangular diamond designs. Cushion cut diamonds combine classic charm with contemporary appeal.

Princess cut diamonds offer a stunning square shape with four pointed corners, delivering nearly the same brilliance and light performance as round diamonds. This efficient cut allows for greater carat weight for your budget, making princess cuts an attractive option for couples looking for style without compromising size. The combination of elegance, versatility, and exceptional sparkle has solidified the princess cut as a popular choice for engagement rings.
Emerald cut diamonds are celebrated for their sophisticated elegance and symmetry. Characterized by their step-cut faceting, these diamonds create a subtle ‘hall of mirrors’ effect, offering a more understated sparkle compared to round or princess cuts. Additionally, emerald cuts typically appear larger than other shapes of similar carat weight due to their proportions and larger surface area, making them a refined choice for those seeking a timeless yet eye-catching piece.

Radiant cut diamonds are designed to captivate, blending the brilliance of round cuts with the stylish elegance of emerald cuts. With their unique octagonal shape and cropped corners, radiant diamonds offer exceptional sparkle while maintaining a rectangular or square silhouette. Elongated radiant cuts, in particular, create a stunning visual impact, appearing larger than their square counterparts. These diamonds are perfect for those seeking modern cutting techniques with a traditional twist.
Marquise cut diamonds feature a vintage design that exudes uniqueness and elegance. Although they may not be as mainstream as other diamond shapes, their striking silhouette makes a bold statement for non-traditional couples. One of the significant advantages of marquise cut diamonds is their ability to maximize carat weight, making the diamond appear larger than it actually is. For those seeking a standout piece, the marquise cut should not be overlooked.

Asscher cut diamonds, often called square emerald cuts, showcase an octagonal shape with cropped corners. Like emerald cuts, they are step-cut diamonds but offer enhanced brilliance and sparkle due to the distinctive arrangement of their long facets. The Asscher cut’s unique symmetry and modern appeal make it a sought-after choice for those desiring a blend of classic style and contemporary flair.
When selecting a heart-shaped diamond, symmetry is crucial to achieving the perfect silhouette. An ideal heart diamond features two identical lobes, a sharp cleft between them, and gently rounded wings leading to the point. Heart-shaped diamonds come in various silhouettes, from narrow to wide, allowing for personal expression in your choice. This romantic shape is a timeless option for those looking to symbolize love and commitment in their engagement rings.

You will not find better quality at the price they are able to offer. They are located in a safe area and there is a secure parking area right next to the complex for added ease. I showed Darren a picture, we spoke for 15 mins, 3 weeks later he gave me a ring which my fiancé has been staring at for the last 3 days straight. He explained everything so clearly with his wealth of knowledge and not once forced anything upon his customer. I had the choice, and he made it happen. Gemma has answered every single question I had for the last 10 months, and was so warm and supportive through everything. If anything, her excitement made me more exited! Both of you are so passionate and professional which made the experience 10/10.
