Diamonds and Fine Jewelry

Contrary to popular belief, all diamonds do not have the same shape. There are nine usual diamond shapes:

·        Oval diamonds

·        Radiant diamonds

·        Princess diamonds

·        Asscher diamonds

·        Pear diamonds

·        Emerald diamonds

·        Heart diamonds

·        Round diamonds

·        Marquis diamonds

The different shape of the diamonds is primarily used for different settings. For example, round diamonds are usually for earrings. Speaking of earrings, pear shaped diamonds give that special dangle effect.
