At the
Jewellery Web
Shop we
aim to fully and indeed correctly inform and educate our
customers on everything concerning diamonds.
The actual visual
shape of diamonds is most important.
It is one thing to
decide the type of shape of diamond required and quite another
the quality and visual beauty of this cut within each different
shape.
This is true in
ALL shapes and this page will help you understand the reasons
why.
Choose the shape
of your diamond first.
The main criteria for selection
of your special diamond is of course personal preference as
to the shape.
If you have looked at diamonds at your local jeweller they
will have been presented under professional lighting
conditions
which, feel quite sure, have enhanced the sparkle or
brilliance making it more difficult to actually observe the
differences in light refraction between them.
The truth of the matter is that
if the brilliant cut is given 100 % light refractive
qualities, the oval, pear and marquise will have around
90% while the heart shape will be around 80%, the princess
and the trilliant or trillion 70% followed by the emerald,
radiant and cushion at 60% with the baguette last at
around the 45% mark.
The foremost diamond shapes are
shown below and below that a short account of each. If
you have any further questions please feel free to contact
us by email or give us a call. We will be glad to assist and
guide you.
