Diamond shape has a dramatic effect on the look of your ring.

Round is most traditional and like most diamond shapes, offers a beautiful random pattern of sparkle. Princess-cut diamonds are very popular as well and offer the most sparkle of the square-shaped stones. Emerald and Asscher are preferred by those who appreciate their geometric symmetry. Note that other diamond shapes are generally less expensive than round diamonds, because they enable the diamond cutter to spare more of the diamond rough.
