Choosing your diamond shape

Oval, emerald, pear or round — what each cut says, and how it looks on the hand.

Choosing your diamond shape

Shape is the first decision and the most personal one. The round brilliant returns the most light; the oval looks larger per carat and lengthens the finger; the emerald cut shows a calm hall-of-mirrors effect instead of sparkle.

Try it on

Use “See On Hand” in our ring designer. The preview scales the stone in millimetres, so a 2.0 ct oval appears at its real 10.0 × 7.0 mm on the finger.
