It’s fair to say that the most popular shape for diamonds is the Round Brilliant Cut. There are a number of reasons for this...the main one being that round brilliant cut diamonds consistently outperform most of the other cuts, the beautiful sparkle and scintillation round brilliants display is breathtaking! Closely following the round brilliant cut diamond in popularity are ‘Princess Cut Diamonds’...also referred to as ‘Modified square brilliant cut diamonds’ or ‘Square Cut Diamonds’. Princess cut diamonds are generally a little less expensive than round brilliant cut diamonds as cutting them requires less diamond to be removed from the rough diamond.

Over the years at Metal Urges we have noticed that people who buy fancy shaped diamonds (diamonds other than round and squares) almost always already know what shape they want their diamond to be! Emerald cut people come in requesting Emerald cut and Ovalu cut people come in requesting Ovals and so on. If however you are unsure or have not thought about the shape of the diamond you want...chances are you are a round brilliant cut buyer. The really great thing about round brilliant cuts is that if the diamond has a GIA certificate this will tell you the diamonds cut grading. When buying fancy shape diamonds other than round brilliant cut the GIA certificate will not give an indication of how well cut a diamond is. Due to this fact it is absolutely necessary to inspect all fancy shaped diamonds before a committing to buy. Metal Urges take all the risk out of selecting a fancy shaped diamond as we run 100% obligation free viewing of all diamonds large or small in any shape.
