The diamond's shape—which jewelers refer to as the "cut"—is often the first decision to make, as it defines the character of the entire engagement ring. Here are the main ones:
The cut of the diamond round brilliant is the gold standard: 58 facets designed to maximize brilliance. It fits all settings and remains the most sought-after cut in Parisian jewelry.
The cut of the diamond elongated oval It visually accentuates the finger and offers a shine comparable to that of a round cut, with a more romantic and distinctive silhouette.
The cut of the diamond emerald (rectangular with chamfered corners) highlights the stone’s purity rather than its shine—a bold and elegant architectural choice.
The cut of the diamond cushion (a square with rounded corners) is reminiscent of antique and vintage jewelry. Its luster is softer, warmer, and very flattering.
The cut of the diamond pear combines roundness and slenderness. Worn with the tip pointing toward the fingernails, it is one of the most unique and flattering cuts for an engagement ring.
The cut of the diamond marquise is the most slimming of all; it creates a spectacular optical illusion on the hand.
At Delosion, we craft all these sizes in 18-karat gold, set in a style that enhances every facet of the gemstone.
