Gemstone Cuts and Shapes

Pristine Hearts® Diamond

The Pristine Hearts® Diamond, developed by Master Diamantaire Deepak Lakhi, is unique as it features 15 special facets cut into each stone to display a perfect heart shape and is the world’s only patented, asymmetrically cut round Diamond. 73 Facets create a Pristine Hearts® Diamond and their exclusive heart shape visible inside each gemstone.

   
Eternitymark® Diamond

Amoro believes that debate ends right here – with our magnificent Eternitymark® Diamond - painstakingly selected to offer you maximum beauty for your money. One look is all it takes to recognize their signature beauty. The difference is apparent – and magnificent.

   
Round Brilliant Cut

This shape has set the standard for all other diamond shapes, and accounts for more than 75% of diamonds sold today. Its 57-facet cut is calibrated through a precise formula to achieve the maximum in fire and brilliance.

   
Princess Cut

This is a square or rectangular cut with numerous sparkling facets. It is a relatively new cut and often finds its way into solitaire engagement rings. Flattering to a hand with long fingers, it is often embellished with triangular stones at its sides.

   
Emerald Cut

This is a rectangular shape with cut corners. It is known as a step cut because its concentric broad, flat planes resemble stair steps.

   
Oval Cut

This is an even, perfectly symmetrical design popular among women with small hands or short fingers. Its elongated shape gives a flattering illusion of length to the hand.

   
Pear Cut

This hybrid cut, combining the best of the oval and the marquise, is shaped most like a sparkling teardrop. It also belongs to that category of diamond whose design most complements a hand with small or average-length fingers. It is particularly beautiful for pendants or earrings.

   
Marquise Cut

An elongated shape with pointed ends inspired by the fetching smile of the Marquise de Pompadour and commissioned by the Sun King, France's Louis XIV, who wanted a diamond to match it. It is gorgeous when used as a solitaire or when enhanced by smaller diamonds.

   
Heart Cut

The heart is the ultimate symbol of love. The unique look of the heart-shaped diamond helps make it a distinctive choice for a variety of diamond jewelry.

   
Trilliant Cut

This is a spectacular wedge of brittle fire. First developed in Amsterdam, the exact design can vary depending on a particular diamond's natural characteristics and the cutter's personal preferences. It is definitely for the adventurous.

   
Radiant Cut

This square or rectangular cut combines the elegance of the emerald shape diamond with the brilliance of the round, and its facets maximize the effect of its color refraction.

   
Cabochon Cut

This is a modification to the gemstone face that creates a highly polished, convex-cut, unfaceted gem that is smooth to the touch.

   
Cushion Cut

The cushion-cut is a deep cut with large facets, an open bottom, and rounded corners. The depth of this cut encourages the eye to travel around the inside the stone. The facets create a high degree of returning light, making the cushion-cut one of the most brilliant and sparkling diamond cuts.

   
Octagon Cut

This is a “step” cut but with the four corners metered. The facets run in steps parallel to the gemstone circumference. This cut is differentiated from the Emerald cut by steps on the pavilion that are not equidistant. It has approximately 53 facets.

   
Square Cut

It is a special oblong shape where the sides are the same lengths. It has approximately 57 facets.

   
Baguette Cut

Is a rectangular narrow gem cut. It has approximately 20 facets. A tapered baguette is a trapezoid shape one end is narrower.

   
Briolette Cut

Is a pear shaped gemstone covered with facets that comes to a pointed end.
