Like near-colourless diamonds, black diamonds can be cut into almost any shape. Unfortunately, so far we have only had black diamonds in a round brilliant cut, so we have shown different cuts using blue diamonds.
Round Brilliant
As with other diamonds, the modern round brilliant cut remains the most popular cut.
Heart Shape
The heart shape is a modification of the round brilliant cut. We think it suits fancy coloured diamonds better than it does near-colourless ones.
Pear Shape
The pear shape is similar to the heart shape in that it is also a modification of the round brilliant cut. We think it suits fancy coloured diamonds better than it does near-colourless ones.
Princess Cut
The princess cut is the most successful of the modern cuts developed for diamonds. It combines the square shape with the brilliance of a brilliant cut.
Marquise or Navette Cut
The marquise cut is also an adaptation of the round brilliant cut, which we believe also looks better in fancy coloured diamonds than it does in plain vanilla.
