What shape is your diamond?

[jayreneepea]

I'd like to see what the most popular shape is. I hear it is round, but there seems to be a rise in fancy shapes.

So, list your shape and let's see!!

My engagement ring has a radiant cut center stone- no pictures right now because it''s at the jeweler''s being reset. RBs seem to be the most popular, and radiants the least but radiant lovers are special people

My current (second upgrade) is an emerald cut.

First was a round. HATED the setting. thought about changing that, and decided I loved emerald cuts and wanted one. (ten years later, and though rounds are fine and dh liked them, I could have been a bit more creative)

when I got my second upgrade, I stayed with the emerald. I really love that it is elegant and timeless yet pretty, not a trendy thing. I know I will never get tired of it.

I have a thread, pictures of my emerald cut finally, and I think Nan posted it in SMTR...

Transition cut (I just learned that the other day). We had wanted an Old European Cut, but couldn''t find one in our price range while we were looking.

I guess I count under the "round" category.

Hi! I''m a collector. I have at least one of every shape except a heart, a princess and a cushion.

Woooo have a round and a marquise. Marquise looks huge and I like it but I LOVE my round WOOOOOOO

I have a radiant as well! It is considered a cut-cornered square modified brilliant by the GIA report. I love it because of the square shape, but also because of how sparkly it is. After looking at all the gorgeous diamonds on PS, I am also drawn to the modern cushions, but every shape diamond I''ve seen on here is absolutely beautiful

So far radiants are in the lead, with round and oval a close second!

Mine was described to me as a Lucere...but the GIA report states a Square Brilliant Cut...

 

[FireGoddess]

Pear.

[MustangGal]

My first was a marquise, my first upgrade a pear, and my current is an ovel. I like my stones to look big for their size!

I am still experimenting and getting better with the photos, so once again, I present my beloved hall of mirrors, my Excellent cut .71 H color S1 Emerald e-ring (2 weeks old!)

I have loved emerald cut always, there was never any question about what shape to get for my engagement ring, just a little juggling to make sure we got one that was affordable but not teeny, since they tend to look smaller than other shapes. This one is 6.2 mm by 4.5 mm, I''m really really thrilled with it. It''s pretty sizeable compared to those of friends, coworkers, etc...in fact, the first comments at work were "that''s huge". It''s a nice size for less than a carat (and for the price we paid) and very very fiery/sparkly. The green tint in my platinum setting is from the leaves outside...

thanks to all who have suggested how to photograph in the past...now, if I could just get some "ring floss" to clean under it, and get the hard water spots off! you will notice my finger is flaking off from the constant washing, I am determined not to let it get fingerprinty and greasy and dull!

N-jo

[kcoursolle]

I have a radiant too...but I have to say we are the rare ones here, not the majority. Come on round and asscher folks, where are you?

 

[wifey2b]

Both my original e-ring, and my upgrade are both RB''s, and I love them both :}

I always knew that i wanted an emerald cut -- so classic and elegant -- that is until i found this site. then i tumbled between cushions and ovals and emeralds. but, in the end, my first love

won

 

[darling]

Emerald cut.

 

[Sparkles22]

Definately see a lot more rounds posted on this site. I like the square cuts the best. I have a princess cut stone.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

My original is a pear (which I plan on setting into a pendant or a 3-stone ring).
My upgrade is an emerals cut with trapezoid sidestones...no pictures because I don''t know how
