Although the round diamond shape is the most popular shape of all there are many fascinating and beautiful alternatives. Use this list to familiarize yourself with the top 10 diamond shapes before you decide to buy a diamond ring.

1. Round Cut Diamond

Rounds diamonds are the most popular shape that diamonds are cut into. It is also the most brilliant of all the cuts. You may have heard of a term called “Ideal Cut”. This term refers to the attempt to cut a diamond into the best proportions to achieve maximum brilliance.

2. Princess Cut Diamond

The Princess Cut is relatively new. It is a very attractive cut. Some people like the Princess because it is rectangular and yet has some of the sparkle of a Round brilliant cut.

3. Emerald Cut Diamond

The Emerald Cut is rectangular with cut corners. It is a step cut as opposed to a brilliant cut. The facets are broad with flat planes resembling the steps of a stair. That’s why it is refered to as a “step” cut.

4. Radiant Cut Diamond

The Radiant Cut has 70 facets and is known for its cut corners. This cut has the class and elegance of an emerald cut without sacrificing the brilliance of a Round Brilliant Cut. Radiants look very good when adorned with baguettes or round side stones.

5. Asscher Cut Diamond

The Asscher Cut is a modified version of the Emerald Cut. It is more brilliant, has a smaller table, deeper pavilion and bigger step facets. The Asscher has been around since 1902 but really started to become fashionable after it was featured in Sex and the City.

6. Oval Cut Diamond

The Oval Shaped Brilliant is very similar to a Round except it is elliptical. It was invented by Lazare Kaplan in the early 1960s. The Oval brilliant usually has 56 facets. “Shape Appeal” is very important with Oval brilliants.

7. Marquise Cut Diamond

The name “Marquise” came from a legend of the Marquise of Pompadour that the Sun King wanted a Diamond to be polished into the shape of the mouth of the Marquise!

8. Heart Cut Diamond

The Heart Shaped Brilliant bears some similarity to the Pear Shape, except that there is a cleft at the top. In fact, often the reason cutters may choose a Heart shape over a Pear may be that the Rough Diamond contained an inclusion located in the cleft. The skill of the cutter can make a great difference in the beauty of this cut. The “Shape Appeal” is especially important with Hearts.

9. Pear Cut Diamond

The Pear Shaped Brilliant is a combination of a Round brilliant and a Marquise cut. Pendants looks very nice set with a Pear shape as do earrings, due to the “Teardrop” shape.

10. Cushion Cut Diamond

Cushion cut diamonds are also known as “pillow cut” or “candlelight”. Those names come from having been around so long that they were originally viewed by candlelight rather than the modern light bulb. The Cushion is a unique cut in an antique style similar to an Old Mine or Oval cut. Cushions feature rounded corners and larger facets. Their shape varies from square to rectangular. Choose the shape appeal based on your preference.

These gorgeous gemstones are perhaps the most desired commodities in the world. Want something exquisite to fuse your love relationship? Invest in a quality diamond. In the kind of society we live in, there is still some degree of importance placed on material wealth. Can you truly blame a woman for cherishing the diamond not only for its beauty but also for its value? They see it like this: “Honey, you’re quite a catch and let this diamond ring symbolize my wish that you never leave me.” So let her feel that the diamond on her finger, neck, wrist or earlobe is a sign that she is loved, cherished and valued.

A good looking jewelry website makes it easy for men to learn about diamonds before buying because they may be slightly intimidated when they go into a jewelery store to buy their first diamond.

A important reason why men choose to buy diamonds online is that the World Wide Web has risen to be one of the most powerful tools of modern technology. And boys just love anything that has to do with technology. It has evolved as modern man’s treasure trove of valuable information and an indispensable hub for trade and commerce. As a matter of fact, almost all of our shopping nowadays can be taken care of by just pressing a few buttons on our computers!

Although the majority of visitors to the JR Jewelers site are women, the majority of purchasers are still men. JR Jewelers was one of several diamond or jewelery sites launched in 2001. The traditional approach is for a retailer to buy a diamond which then sits in its inventory awaiting a buyer, often for months or even years.

However, if you really think things over, you can see that buying diamonds online does have its advantages over buying from a traditional jewelry outlet. Consider these benefits:

• You can choose among a wider selection of quality diamond pieces. Feast your eyes on the almost endless selections available online. There simply are no limits!
• You get a better value for your money. Wondering why diamond pieces in online jewelry stores are priced much lower than those in traditional jewelry stores? Online operations require lower overhead and inventory costs. This is the main reason why online merchandisers can afford to give you a better value for your chosen piece.
• You can shop almost effortlessly! If you find your mall or department store shopping exhausting enough, you will definitely appreciate buying your precious diamond online. In shopping online, you do away with the traffic, the parking issues, the crowds and everything else that makes traditional shopping an almost unbearable task. Plus, you can make speedy transactions. Just type in a little information in the appropriate places, press a button and you’re done!

So, how do you buy diamonds safely online? Here are some helpful tips that can guide you in making your online diamond shopping an enjoyable and safe experience.

1. Learn as much as you can about diamonds. Be knowledgeable about the 4C’s (cut, color, clarity and carat weights) of a diamond. The more knowledgeable you are, the less your chances are of being conned by all those scams lurking in the internet!

2. Do your research well. Now that you are more knowledgeable about diamonds, go around and look for diamonds that interest you. Do not just grab the first thing you see that piques your fancy! Instead, do some comparison-shopping and look for the best deals in town. There are a lot of credible online jewelry stores so take your time.

3. Understand the merchandiser’s store policies. So, you have found the diamond piece that you love. It is so perfect! You have looked around and found the best deal there is. All that is left for you to do is the actual purchase and you can have that valuable piece. But wait! Have you asked about the store’s policies yet? Here are some things you need to know before you make the final purchase:

• Ask for the merchandiser’s credentials: Do they belong to a professional jewelry association?
• What are their policies regarding return, refund and upgrades? Go for those with a 30-day return policy and be sure to read the fine prints to avoid any confusion.
• Do they have a Customer Service available? Have their phone numbers ready. You do not know when you will need them.
• How will the purchase be shipped? Are they willing to replace or refund any item that are lost or damaged in shipment?
• Do they have certifications, or diamond grading reports, for the individual diamond pieces? To be sure about your purchase, buy only from sites that provide diamond AGS or GIA certificates. These two independent laboratories are considered to be the world’s premier diamond grading laboratories.
• Have you checked their BBB Online rating? Are there any complaints filed against them?

4. As much as possible, use an escrow service. This is especially important in purchasing very expensive diamonds. Look for an escrow service that also has the capability to appraise the diamond. This way, you can be sure that your purchase is safe and sound.
