Which Diamond Shape Is Right for Me?
Choosing a diamond shape is one of the most personal and exciting parts of designing an engagement ring. At Teresa and Sons, we know that the shape of your diamond says a lot about your style, personality, and the story you're about to tell.
So—which diamond shape is right for you? Let’s break it down to help you discover the one that speaks to your heart.
Round Brilliant: Timeless & Classic
If you love tradition and timeless elegance, round brilliant diamonds are for you. They’re the most popular shape, known for their unmatched sparkle and perfect symmetry. Ideal for someone who appreciates classic beauty with enduring appeal.
Style Match: Solitaire or halo setting, traditional yet elegant designs.
Oval: Elegant & Unique
Oval diamonds give you the brilliance of a round cut with a more modern, elongated silhouette. They make the finger look longer and slimmer while offering a graceful and refined look. A top pick for fashion-forward romantics.
Style Match: Hidden halo, east-west settings, vintage-inspired rings.
Emerald: Sophisticated & Sleek
With their clean lines and mirror-like facets, emerald cut diamonds are perfect for those who appreciate minimalism and vintage luxury. It’s a shape that radiates sophistication and quiet confidence.
Style Match: Art Deco designs, bezel settings, bold solitaire bands.
Princess: Bold & Contemporary
For someone who wants sparkle with an edge, the princess cut is a brilliant square-shaped diamond that brings maximum fire and shine. It’s ideal for someone who loves geometric designs and modern aesthetics.
Style Match: Channel-set bands, double halo settings, sharp angles.
Pear: Romantic & Trendy
Pear-shaped diamonds, also called teardrop diamonds, are one of the most romantic and eye-catching shapes. They combine elegance with a touch of drama — and are perfect for those who want something a little different.
Style Match: Asymmetrical settings, delicate halos, minimalist bands.
Cushion: Soft & Vintage
With soft, rounded corners and a pillowy shape, cushion cut diamonds offer a vintage charm while still providing sparkle. Great for romantics who love a classic look with a hint of nostalgia.
Style Match: Antique-style settings, rose gold bands, halo or split-shank.
Radiant, Asscher, Marquise & More…
There are plenty of other shapes to explore too! Whether you’re drawn to the Art Deco lines of an Asscher, the bold brilliance of a Radiant, or the regal drama of a Marquise, Teresa and Sons can help you visualize them all — even with 3D ring previews in-house.
