Shapes

What''s your favorite shaped diamond?

And of cushions and rounds, which do you prefer more? Do rounds show up bigger than a cushion with the same weight? Are rounds the most sparkly of the lot?

Thank you

It depends, well cut rounds are considered to be the best overall for performance, as to which faces up larger we would need actual comparisons and diameters between a round and cushion. If you want a diamond which looks large for the weight then perhaps consider ovals, pear, marquise as these can look large for the weight.

I suppose for my preference, I would vote for a round diamond but I also love chunky cushions!

What Lorelei said. Except in my case I like the more modern cushions, not so much the chunky ones.

I like pears and ovals. I also prefer cushions to rounds. Not to offend round lovers but there are so many rounds out there that I find other shapes more interesting to look at. I do understand why round lovers have them though. Who wouldn''t want the sparkliest diamond on the block.
