Our previous post introduced you to the fascinating world of diamond cuts, including the round brilliant, princess, and emerald cuts. Now, let’s explore more intriguing cuts that can help you find the perfect engagement ring.
Radiant-Cut
With an impressive 70 facets, this cut combines the brilliance of the round, emerald, and princess cuts, creating a captivating sparkle. Introduced by Henry Grossbard in 1977, the radiant cut surpassed previous square and step cuts, offering a more vibrant and dazzling appearance.
The Timothea engagement ring features a square radiant-cut diamond at its centre, framed by 16 round diamonds on the band for extra sparkle.
Marquise-Cut
This elongated cut, also known as the navette (French for ‘little boat’), has 58 facets that enhance the carat’s perceived size. First crafted in 18th-century France, the marquise cut was favoured by nobility as a symbol of status and elegance.
Our Eugenia engagement ring showcases a solitary marquise diamond in a sleek, contemporary setting, making it a true standout.
Heart-Cut
With 56-58 facets, this cut is a variant of the brilliant cut and has been associated with royalty throughout history. A notable example is Mary Queen of Scots, who gifted a heart-shaped diamond to Queen Elizabeth as a gesture of goodwill.
The Niobe engagement ring features a heart-shaped diamond in sizes ranging from 0.50 to 2.00 carats, set on a graceful knife-edge band available in platinum, white, yellow, or rose gold.
Trillion-Cut
The Kalypso engagement ring is an exceptional example of the trillion-cut’s fiery brilliance.
Also known as the trilliant or trielle, this triangular cut can feature straight or curved sides and varies between 31 and 50 facets. Often used as a complementary design, the trillion cut highlights a diamond’s inner fire, perfectly complementing a central solitaire stone. The Kalypso engagement ring combines a round brilliant center diamond with glittering trillion-cut side stones for a unique and eye-catching design.
Cushion-Cut
Known for its soft, rounded corners, Cushion-cut originated from the 19th century’s old mine cut. Due to its dazzling inner sparkle, the cushion cut is often described as having a “crushed ice” appearance.
The Kalliope engagement ring features a cushion-cut diamond with a halo of smaller round diamonds, creating a look of timeless elegance.
