Shapes
Diamond shapes are like works of art, with each one displaying its own unique character and charm. From the timeless beauty of the round brilliant cut to the sharp lines and striking angles of the emerald and princess cuts, there is a diamond shape to suit every personality and style. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of the pear or oval, the romantic flair of the heart, or the vintage glamour of the cushion cut, at KC we have a wide variety of diamond shapes to choose from.
Let the diamonds speak to you and find the one that captures your heart and essence.
Round
The timeless elegance of a round diamond is simply unmatched, with its perfect symmetry and brilliant fire, it is a true embodiment of classical beauty. The round brilliant cut reflects light from all angles and is ideal for creating maximum scintillation. It is a stunning centrepiece for a single stone ring and delivers the highest levels of fire and brilliance.
Pear
The delicate and sensual silhouette of a pear diamond is an exquisite choice for those who desire a touch of romance. Feminine and graceful, the pear shaped diamond cut is a timeless and highly sophisticated choice. Its tapered silhouette resembles a teardrop, and it delivers spectacular brilliance and fire. Its asymmetric proportions elongate the finger, making it particularly flattering for those with smaller hands.
Oval
The oval diamond exudes a sense of sophistication and poise, with its elongated form and sparkling facets. It is a precious gem that adds an air of luxury to any jewellery piece. A contemporary variation of the round brilliant cut, balancing scintillation and classicism, its elongated beauty is emphasised when paired with side stones, and it is especially flattering for those with petite hands.
Heart
The heart diamond is the epitome of love and affection. It demands exceptional precision and expertise to produce the gentle, rounded curves. Its unique facets radiate light outwards and create a sensational scintillation. Its whimsical shape is a symbol of devotion and is an endearing choice for those who want to express their heartfelt feelings.
Marquise
The marquise diamond is a true work of art, with its regal and dramatic shape, it captures the essence of refinement and prestige. The cut is elegant and regal, with a slender and elongated shape featuring pointed ends. It has a larger surface area than other diamond cuts of the same carat weight, making it appear more substantial. The marquise cut has a unique set of facets that maximise its brilliance and fire, and it can add length to the finger.
Emerald
The emerald cut is a refined and elegant diamond shape with rectangular or square outlines and bevelled corners. Its top surface is like a mirror that accentuates its symmetrical proportions and long, clear facets. However, it also exposes even the smallest imperfections, making a high-quality stone crucial for showcasing this cut's striking beauty.
Cushion
The cushion diamond cut is a classic shape with a soft, rounded square or rectangular outline. It has larger facets that create a vintage feel and a lot of sparkle. It is a versatile cut that works well in both vintage and modern designs, and it has a timeless appeal that makes it a popular choice.
Princess
The princess diamond cut is a contemporary, square-shaped cut that maximises the diamond's brilliance and fire. It has a unique set of kite-shaped and triangular facets that create a striking pattern and a lot of sparkle. It is a popular choice for those who want a modern-looking diamond with a classic feel.
Asscher
The asscher diamond cut has a distinctive art-deco look, with a square shape and cut corners. It has a unique series of step facets that create a mesmerising hall-of-mirrors effect that is unlike any other cut. It requires high precision to execute perfectly, and its vintage charm makes it an excellent choice for those who want an unusual and eye-catching diamond.
Radiant
The radiant diamond cut is a rectangular or square shape with cut corners, combining the brilliance of a round diamond with the elegance of an emerald cut. Its unique set of facets maximises the diamond's brilliance and fire, making it a stunning centrepiece in any collection.
