Introduction

Diamonds are the most popular gemstone in the world, so it stands to reason that they have a variety of cuts. A diamond's cut can affect its appearance in many ways, including how much light is reflected and how well it sparkles. This article will explore the different types of diamonds and their effects on Engagement Rings and wedding bands.

Round Brilliant Cut

Round brilliant cuts are the most popular cut in engagement rings, and for good reason. They're a very symmetrical shape with many facets that provide plenty of light reflection and sparkle. This makes them ideal for setting stones such as rubies or sapphires--the round shape also allows you to add other gemstones without having to worry about getting too close to an existing prong setting on your ring. Round brilliant cuts can be difficult to design because they have so many facets; however, if you do it right (and leave less than 1 mm between the stone and lab-created diamond), it's possible to make this type of diamond look beautiful even when set with other types of colored gems such as emeralds or aquamarines!

Emerald Cut

Emerald cut diamonds are rectangular in shape. The corners of the diamond are rounded, and it's wider than it is long. This gives you a lot of sparkle and makes it look great as an engagement ring.

Square cut diamonds are the most common shape, and they're also very popular. The corners on these diamonds are also rounded off, but they're a bit squarer than a marquise cut stone.

Princess Cut

The princess cut is a square shaped diamond with two rectangular sides and two square sides. It is also called the "square modified brilliant" cut, which is an excellent choice for those who want a large diamond but don't want it to be too bulky. The princess cut offers an elegant look with its round-shaped center and wide shoulders that can hold up to 10% more weight than other cuts.

The best thing about this type of engagement ring setting is that it doesn't require any special care or maintenance on your part--which means you can wear your engagement ring all day long without worrying about damaging the stone or losing its sparkle!

Heart Shaped Cut

The heart-shaped diamond is a variation of the round brilliant cut. It has 58 facets, which is about average for this type of cut, but it can also be found with fewer or more than 58 facets.

The high brilliance and fire associated with this shape make it an excellent choice if you want your engagement ring to stand out from others and draw attention to your hand on special occasions. The low profile design makes it ideal for comfortable wear over time as well.

Asscher Cut

The Asscher cut is a square shaped diamond. The name comes from the fact that it has 58 facets, which is similar to an Asscher cut diamond (a type of biconcave). It's also often confused with the Radiant Cut which has 76 facets and has more in common with round diamonds than square ones.

The most common use for this shape is for Wedding Rings, although you can find them used on other types of jewelry such as earrings or necklaces too!
