Diamond Cuts
Throughout the entire world, the diamond ring is the most popular
type of ring. Diamond rings are commonly used as engagement rings and
also anniversary gifts. They are also used on many occasions for gifts
for the birth of children, graduation rings and many other occasions.
One of the most important considerations to make when shopping for a
diamond ring is the cut of the ring. There are many different sizes and
shapes to choose from when looking for a diamond ring. Each ring is
different but there are 9 basic cuts of a diamond ring.
The most popular diamond ring cut is called the princess cut. The
princess cut is a diamond that is square in shape. It has much
brilliance. Square diamonds have become less popular than round
brilliant cuts in the past. In more recent times, the princess cut has
taken over the top spot as the most popular.
Another diamond cut is referred to as an asscher cut. This type of
diamond is square and the corners have been cut off. Because of that,
the risks of chipping is eliminated. The asscher cut has a sparkle that
is unique. Diamonds that are higher quality usually use the asscher cut.
Another well known diamond cut is called the cushion cut. This cut is
rectangular and has corners that are rounded. The cushion cut does a
better job at hiding flaws. That being said, the cushion cut does not
have as much clarity as the asscher cut and emerald cut.
Another diamond cut is called the radiant cut. It is similar to the
emerald cut
Other diamond cuts included the oval cut, the pear cut, and marquise
cut. The oval cut has lines that that are smooth and facets that are
sparkling. Usually, people who are looking for diamonds that are a
little more unique but still brilliant will choose an oval cut. A heart
shaped diamond is another choice that is quite unique and popular for
some shoppers. |
