Diamond shape refers to the overall look of a diamond. Diamonds come in a variety of shapes. Do not confuse diamond cut with diamond shape; diamond cut is what determines how well cut a diamond is, whereas diamond shape is the shape it was cut into.
The most popular diamond shape chosen by our 50,000+ happy customers is the Round Brilliant shape, closely followed by the Princess shape. The Round Brilliant is also the most readily available in every possible quality and size. The choice of shape is of course your personal preference, so please take a moment to view a range of diamond shapes below

The most basic of diamond shapes and the only shape not considered fancy, this shape is a rounded diamond in the shape of a circle. The Round Brilliant is the classic diamond shape and contains 58 facets including the culet. The Round Brilliant shape is the most expensive as it is usually possible to retain more carat size by cutting to fancy shapes than cut to a round.
