We have collection of lab grown diamonds numerous shapes with each shape being quite different from the others. It is usual to confuse the shape with the cut of a diamond, as they can be synonyms. So, what is the difference between shape and cut? Shape refers to a diamond’s form, the outline of the diamond (e.g. round, emerald, cushion) whereas cut describes how well cut a diamond is (e.g. excellent, very good, good). Therefore, in order to determine the quality of the diamond in each shape, some of the unique characteristics need to be observed and analyzed.
The round cut diamond is by far the most popular diamond shape available today, accounting for approximately 75% of all diamonds sold. A round diamond is known to provide more flexibility in terms of balancing cut, color, and clarity grades while achieving the visual design and style to wish for. is 360-degree symmetrical, creating an extraordinary show of light and is also considered superior to many fancy shapes at the proper reflection of light, which in turn, maximizes the diamond’s potential brightness. A round brilliant will work with almost every setting, from classic solitaires to intricate vintage designs.
The princess shape is the second most popular shape, after the round brilliant, thanks to its square and clean lines, which grant this classic shape with a modern twist look.

If you are looking for a square shape with the same sparkle as the round brilliant, then the princess is perfect for you.
The emerald-cut is among the most classic of diamond shapes and is usually cut into a rectangular shape. Its clean lines come from step-cutting, or parallel line facets, and it is always cut with blocked (cut) corners. Instead of the sparkle of a brilliant-cut, emerald cut diamonds produce a hall-of-mirrors effect, with the interplay of light and dark planes. While less fiery, the long lines and dramatic flashes of light give the emerald shape an elegant appeal.
