Gemstone Shapes

The Cut gives each diamond its sparkle, flash and shapes its personality.

Throughout history, wedding jewelry was primarily metal. But when the 19th century rolled around, adding precious stones became more and more popular. Since then, gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated and are cut in various shapes: round, oval, emerald, princess, pear, marquise, or heart. The diamond may be set alone, which is called a solitaire, or surrounded by other diamonds and precious gemstones.
