Diamonds are cut and polished in various shapes and sizes to get the maximum yield from the rough stone. Originally round diamond was the most popular shape due to its brilliance, scintillation and sparkle. But oval and emerald diamond shapes, among others, are also becoming increasingly popular.

Shapes of the Center Diamond in an Engagement Ring

The center diamond is the star of your engagement ring. It is the first stone that catches the eye when worn, so it is important to pick the diamond that matches your personality, style and taste. The center diamond also determines the spread, the sparkle and the overall silhouette of the engagement ring that sits on your finger. So take your time and try a few different shapes before you buy the ring.

Round Cut Diamonds

A round brilliant cut is the most common shape of a diamond and an extremely popular choice for engagement rings. It is a classic shape that never goes out of style because it’s specially designed to maximize brilliance.


The term "brilliant cut" originates from the extensive faceting that the diamond undergoes during its crafting process. A typical round brilliant diamond is designed with 52 facets. This intricate faceting is aimed at maximizing the diamond’s brilliance. The principle is simple: the more facets a diamond has, the more it sparkles. This makes the brilliant cut ideal for those who desire a diamond with the brightest sparkle.

What To Know When Shopping for Round Diamonds

This gorgeous shape is always in style, but there are a few things you should keep in mind when you’re looking for your dream round diamond. Pay close attention to clarity; this simple shape doesn’t create optical illusions like other cuts do. It’s important to visually inspect your selected stone to confirm that it appears flawless to the naked eye.
Choosing the ideal carat size is also important. While fancy cuts often appear larger than they are, round diamonds are true to size. If you want to create the appearance of a larger stone, you can add volume and sparkle by choosing a round diamond ring with a halo setting.
