Cuts & Shapes of Black Diamonds
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 blue 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 blue 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. |
