Maximum fire thanks to 57 calculated facets. The most chosen shape and the easiest to resell.
The most expensive per carat: it wastes more rough.
Visually elongates the finger and looks 10 to 15% larger than a round of the same weight.
Roughly 20% less than an equivalent round.
Softened corners and warm sparkle, very photogenic as a halo or a solitaire.
Excellent visible-size-to-price ratio.
A signature silhouette, confident without being showy. Slims the hand when the point faces the nail.
Often 25 to 30% below a round of the same weight.
The shape that looks largest at equal weight: its visible surface is the greatest.
Among the best values per carat.
Architectural lines and intense brilliance: the compromise between round sparkle and emerald geometry.
A good balance of presence and budget.
A sober hall-of-mirrors effect, high fashion. Needs good clarity, since inclusions show.
Good value per carat, but demands a higher clarity grade.
Square, modern, lively sparkle. The corners benefit from a protective setting.
Often 20 to 25% below an equivalent round.
The most romantic and the rarest. It needs perfect symmetry to read clearly.
Variable: cut quality drives the entire price.
Look at her current jewellery and what she saves online. The shape is almost always visible there.
Oval, marquise and pear elongate the hand. Round, cushion and princess concentrate the sparkle.
A point or corners need a protective setting if she works with her hands.
