HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DIAMOND SHAPE FOR YOU

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT DIAMOND SHAPE FOR YOU

A diamond's shape is one of the details that gives a piece its personality.

From the timeless symmetry of a round diamond to the clean, architectural lines of an emerald cut, each shape creates a distinctly different look. The right choice ultimately comes down to the one that feels most like you.

ROUND

Classic, balanced, and known for its brilliance, the round diamond is one of the most enduring choices in fine jewelry.

Its symmetrical shape works beautifully with minimal settings and offers a timeless look that moves effortlessly between everyday wear and special occasions.

Choose round if you love classic design with exceptional sparkle.

OVAL

An oval diamond combines the brilliance of a round stone with a more elongated silhouette.

Elegant and refined, its proportions can create a graceful appearance on the hand while still offering plenty of brilliance.

Choose oval if you're drawn to something timeless with a slightly more distinctive character.

EMERALD

Emerald-cut diamonds have a completely different personality.

Rather than emphasizing sparkle, their long, step-cut facets create flashes of light and a distinctive sense of depth.

The clean geometry gives emerald cuts a refined, architectural quality that pairs naturally with LØFTE's minimalist design language.

Choose emerald if you prefer understated elegance and strong, clean lines.

PEAR

The pear combines a rounded end with a tapered point, creating a shape that feels both elegant and individual.

Its elongated silhouette has a softer character than an emerald cut while offering a more distinctive profile than traditional round or oval shapes.

Choose pear if you're looking for something refined but a little less expected.

CONSIDER MORE THAN CARAT WEIGHT

Two diamonds of the same carat weight can look noticeably different depending on their shape and proportions.

Carat measures weight rather than visible size, so consider how the diamond looks as a whole rather than focusing on the number alone.

Shape, proportion, setting, and personal style all contribute to how a diamond appears when worn.

THERE IS NO "BEST" DIAMOND SHAPE

Choosing a diamond is personal.

Some people are immediately drawn to the brilliance of a round diamond. Others prefer the elongated elegance of an oval, the geometry of an emerald cut, or the individuality of a pear.

Rather than choosing based purely on what's popular, choose the shape you continue to come back to.

The right diamond is the one that feels like yours.
