Oval

Rising in popularity is the oval cut. The elongated form creates the illusion of a larger stone, which attracts the current generation of young couples. They radiate sophistication and vintage allure for those who love a touch of nostalgia — a perfect blend of classic and distinctive aesthetics.

Emerald

The emerald cut boasts a refined rectangular shape with trimmed corners. It underscores the clarity and purity of the diamond quality while imparting an opulent, art-deco-inspired appeal. Truly an elegant choice, an emerald-cut diamond is a style that will stand the test of time.
