With so many choices of diamond shape in the jewellery industry today, it can be hard to know which shape to go for. But did you know that the shape of your diamond can reveal a lot about you? Have a read and see if you agree!
Round
The most classic choice of diamond, the round diamond is a great choice for maximum light reflection and a sparkle that never goes out of style. Known for its unrivalled fire and brilliance, if you love the round-shaped diamond you definitely know a good thing when you see it. You're a traditionalist at heart and are known for your classic yet beautiful taste. Optimistic and open, you're also very good at making decisions!

Princess
First created in 1980 in the USA, the princess-shaped diamond may not have been around for the longest amount of time but it’s become an extremely popular choice for engagement rings. Have you got your eye on a princess diamond? If so, you’re definitely the kind of person who enjoys traditional values but with a bit of a twist. Your life is a whirlwind of social engagements and conversation but you wouldn't have it any other way. Do you have a slightly naughty side? We think so!

Pear
A striking and more unusual shape than the round or princess diamonds, if you’re a fan of the pear-shaped diamond, you clearly like to stand out from the crowd. Perfect for those who like to mix it up, you can wear your pear or ‘teardrop’ diamond facing either way depending on your mood. If you're a pear-cut kind of girl, you definitely can't sit still and enjoy nothing better than letting loose and trying new things!

Cushion
The diamond cut of choice for Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic The Great Gatsby, the cushion diamond looks opulent because of its rounded corners and curved sides, and is great for those who love luxury. First introduced to the jewellery market in the 1800s, this diamond is the ideal choice for anyone who enjoys that touch of vintage class. Are you opting for a cushion-cut? You're a lover of the sweeping romance of older times, and have a natural elegance that can't be rivalled.
Asscher
Fashion-forward yet vintage-inspired, the asscher cut diamond has been sported more recently by the likes Pippa Middleton in a suitably eye-catching art deco design. If you're in love with this asscher shape, you're definitely a confident trend-setter with an air of sophistication. Just like you, your parties are always unforgettably chic, effortlessly charming, and the talk of the town.
Heart
Feminine and romantic, if you prefer a heart-shaped diamond, you’re someone who loves to make a statement and who cherishes pure, strong connections with a few special people. Worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, the heart diamond is beautiful and a little bit dramatic just like you, making it a great alternative to the more generic shapes out there. It also takes great skill to create the shape, making it a very romantic choice for any diamond-lover.
