DIAMOND SHAPES
WHAT ARE THE CLASSIC DIAMOND SHAPES?
The diamond shape refers to the manner in which a diamond is meticulously cut. Initially, diamonds possess a naturally organic shape in their rough state, prompting skilled artisans to shape them into the beloved and iconic diamond styles we admire. The classic round brilliant stands as the epitome of traditional diamond shape, while other variations, such as oval, cushion, and princess cuts, fall under the category of 'fancy shape diamonds'. Diamonds are crafted into two primary categories of shapes: the brilliant cut, renowned for its dazzling sparkle, and the step cut, which highlights impeccable clarity and precision.
Radiant-cut diamonds are among the rarest shapes in our collection at MIIKOYA. This rarity is largely attributed to the lower demand for them compared to other diamond shapes. When faced with rough diamonds, our expert cutters often prioritise shapes that maximise the diamond's potential. While radiant cuts possess their unique allure, more popular shapes such as princess, cushion, or emerald cuts are frequently chosen, especially for their broad appeal and versatility.
What diamond shapes appear the largest for MIIKOYA?
For those seeking diamonds that appear larger, MIIKOYA offers a selection of cuts that create the illusion of size. Shapes like oval, pear, and marquise diamonds stand out for their elongated forms, boasting an increased table spread. This characteristic allows them to appear larger than round diamonds of similar carat weight visually.
MIIKOYA understands the importance of value and aesthetics, ensuring that our diamond ring shapes offer magnificence and value to our discerning clientele.
