This diamond cut was created in 1983 by a gemmologist. It is a full square brilliant cut diamond. It is the result of the polishing expertise and high-level of creativity of Antwerp craftsmen.

Baguette cut diamonds are a popular choice for side stones, as they do not have the sparkle and brilliance associated with other diamond shapes. However, they are a lot cheaper than other diamond shapes on the market. The cut usually has 24-facets, and the parallel facts are placed in a manner that makes it appear like a terrace.

Next, we have tapered baguette cut diamonds, which essentially means that the diamond gets smaller at one end. Tapered baguette diamonds are often placed next a centre stone for adornment.

As you have probably gathered by the name, a kite cut diamond is shaped like a kite. This is perfect for someone who wants a bold and striking diamond, as kite gemstones always catch the eye for their unusualness.

The star shape diamond took two years to be researched and developed by the Digico Group. It ranges in weight from .05 to 0.2 carats, and it has 86 facets. The brilliance and fire of this cut is outstanding.

The half moon is a shape that we are all familiar with, and half moon diamonds are available. They are typically used as a side stone, and they look beautiful when combined with a cushion cut diamond engagement ring.

This diamond cut is four-sided. The bottom and top sides are parallel with one and other, whereas the other sides slant inwards. These stones are usually placed next to Asscher and emerald cut diamonds.

As you have no doubt gathered by the name, a bullet cut diamond looks just like a bullet. Often, these diamonds are used as side stones, with one placed at either side of the centre stone in an engagement ring.

No doubt you know what shape a hexagon is, and so you can imagine what a hexagonal cut diamond looks like. This diamond shape is exceptionally rare, and it impresses due to its unique design and stunning sparkle.

A lozenge cut diamond is shaped in the form of a rhombus. In most cases, this will be a thin rhombus with acute angles, resulting in an eye-catching diamond. This diamond shape looks beautiful on rings.

This five-sided diamond boasts an unusual and attention-grabbing design. It is different to any of the other popular cuts that are available, which is assured to draw in plenty of compliments.

The shield cut diamond is another striking and unique shape. It represents a shield; just like the one you would see on a battlefield. On the bottom, it is somewhat triangular, with an additional level at the top and edges that are angled and taper upwards. These diamonds are great for use in pendants and hanging earrings.

An octagon has eight sides, and, of course, this is exactly what you can expect from an octagonal cut diamond. This cut is unlike any other, with a bold shape and stylish design.

This diamond cut is a modification of the trapezoid shape. However, it is arguably more interesting, as it has an additional side. These stones are versatile, which is why they are often used as side stones.

Earlier, we explained what the bullet diamond is. A tapered bullet diamond is exactly the same, however, one side tapers off and becomes smaller.
