The Different Cuts of Loose Cut Diamonds
Everyone has their own idea of the perfect shape of loose cut diamonds, and luckily there are plenty to choose from to suit all tastes. So, here are a few of the most popular cuts to give you an idea of what’s on offer.
• Emerald cut. As the name suggests, this cut was originally created for emeralds. It has since grown in popularity for diamonds as well, and with its smooth facets it creates a tranquil look that’s perfect for people who want less bling.
• Round brilliant cut. This is by far the most popular of all cuts, with diamonds of this nature being truly stunning. It offers perfect symmetry to reflect the maximum amount of light, giving a truly sparkling stone.
• Princess cut. This is a modification of the above with its edges being square rather than round, and thanks to its design it offers much more brilliance than regular square cuts.
• Marquise cut. This is an incredibly elegant cut, almost boat-shaped with curved edges and pointed ends. It offers something different to the usual brilliant cuts and sparkles beautifully.
• Pear cut. This is another variation of the brilliant cut, but because of its nature it offers much more variation in terms of size and shape. It can be modified to any preference with the length-to-width ratio being easily altered.
• Heart cut. These diamonds are perfect for more romantic pieces of jewellery, and much like other brilliant cuts they offer a great level of fire.
These are just a few of the most popular types of loose cut diamonds, and for a great selection make sure to come to us here at Marlows Certified Diamonds and see just how brilliant they can be.
