Diamonds can be cut into a number of different styles, but you're most likely to hear about them when you're shopping for diamond rings. Below are a few of the most common styles you'll find.
Princess cut: This is often the first choice for a diamond engagement ring and is a square or rectangular shape.
Round brilliant cut: This style is used to show off the brilliance of the diamond. It is circular and has 57-58 facets.
Emerald cut: A confusing name, we know, but an emerald cut is another rectangular shape. It's slightly more elongated than a princess cut and doesn't just apply to emeralds.
