What are the various types of interesting diamond cuts available? Could you share some pictures?

[La2020]

I found myself really drawn to the interesting diamond cuts...aside from the modern brilliant rounds.
What are the other types of cuts not found in this picture below? Please share (with pictures!!)

p/s: I am shocked that there are cuts in the shape of a Christmas Tree and Horse Head!

My favorite is rose cut diamond.

This is so cool! I have never heard of rose cut diamonds until today. Definitely a conversation starter! I wonder, how does it sparkle differently from the MRB?

Btw, I did a google on rose cut diamonds to find out more.....and found more interesting cuts!

Shape and personality

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it looked like it might be fun. What Shape Do You Prefer? Princess Cut The princess cut is the first non-brilliant base cut to come to the fore in modern diamond cutting. This fact alone makes it a very remarkable cut. A correctly cut princess...

There are the Ashokas too.Tiffany tends to offer sth unique: it used to be the Lucinda and now there’s the True.

Something along the lines of rose cut would be polki and portrait cuts!

This is a portrait cut:


I was trying to look for a pic of un set polki but I couldn’t find one. This is what it looks like set:

This is personal taste of course with no right or wrong but why I am not a big fan of rose cut diamonds or portrait cut diamonds is the sparkle factor or rather the lack of sparkle factor IMO.

However, many adore rose cut diamonds (@joelly ) and there is no right or wrong.

What I do enjoy about them. They possess old world charm and romance. The negative (for me) is they resemble glass and fall short on fire and brilliance. They don't return light well because they are flat on the bottom.

They do have a lovely shimmer instead of sparkle though and many enjoy that. They are subtle not flashy so there's that too. Another plus people enjoy is that they appear larger for the same carat size compared to non rose cut diamonds.


Here are some examples of portrait cut diamonds. From Jogani's site.

Lovely ring. I love the high chunky crown. I definitely get the appeal. It is subtle and romantic and full of old world charm.

Yes, very subtle charm indeed. They are more glassy looking compared to the other diamond cuts...but there is definitely this romantic vibe about them.

I quite like the look of step cut hexagons like these Moissy as currently listed in Golden Bird on Etsy:

I love step cuts too! I wonder what type of cuts are these called? Step haxagons i guess?

Nearly missed this...Ashokas are aka as crisscuts too? I think there is a PSer here who owns a very pretty crisscut. Is Lucinda a type of radiant cut? The Tiffany True looks very similar to the Lucinda...

Show me your crisscut diamonds

I am considering a Crisscut as my next purchase. There don't seem to be many Crisscut photos on PS so I would love to see photos of peoples Crisscuts in different lighting and from different angles. :wavey: Here is a stock photo of a an emerald shaped Crisscut:

Hybrid Step Cut/Crisscut non branded GIA certified diamond help!

Hello knowledgeable folks! I have set my heart on a custom designed ring which centres around a Crisscut or Ashoka style diamond. However not only are they hard to find loose when you are not in the trade, but almost impossible! So instead I am considering this one which I think would look...

Oh yes jubilee cut is the best. It’s like looking at a mirror or disco ball.

I have never seen any in real life though. Maybe someday.

Yes definitely personal I agree. Rose cut diamonds, they do lack of sparkle which we see in mrb, omc and oec. But I love the subtlety in them. I’m still on the look out for a dream rose cut diamond ring. I feel that when I wear it, nobody will immediately take an interest and I won’t immediately look bling-bling

I am hooked on Georgian era rose cut diamond rings. The Georgian, they do the best presentation of rose cut diamonds.

But again, it’s a personal taste and not for everyone.

portrait cut!


portrait cut is very interesting! at the first glance, it doesn't look like a typical diamond!

Once I saw someone was wearing a dangling portrait cut diamond earrings. It looks so heavenly. I never thought I would want them now
