When it comes to fine jewelry, a gemstone’s cut is everything. It’s not just about shape, it’s about how light moves, how sparkle dances, and how personality shines through. Understanding the different cuts helps you see the artistry behind each gem and discover which style best reflects you. Check out the video here, or read more below:
Round Cut
Timeless and brilliant, the round cut is the most popular of all gemstone shapes. With 58 facets, it’s designed to maximize sparkle from every angle. Perfect for anyone who loves classic elegance with an undeniable fire.
Emerald Cut
Defined by long, linear facets, the emerald cut offers a hall-of-mirrors effect rather than all-over sparkle. Its sleek silhouette highlights clarity and depth, making it the go-to choice for those with modern, architectural style.
Cushion Cut
Soft edges meet big sparkle. The cushion cut blends the brilliance of a round with the romance of a square, giving off a pillowy, dreamy vibe. It’s the perfect mix of old-world charm and contemporary chic.
Oval Cut
Elongated and elegant, the oval cut creates the illusion of longer fingers while offering plenty of sparkle. It’s playful, flattering, and timeless all at once, no wonder it’s having such a major moment in bridal jewelry.
Pear Cut
Also known as the teardrop, the pear cut combines the brilliance of a round with the sleekness of a marquise. Worn with the point up or down, it’s unique, flattering, and never goes unnoticed.
Marquise Cut
Legend has it that this cut was designed for King Louis XV, who wanted a diamond shaped like his mistress’s lips. With its elongated, pointed silhouette, the marquise cut is dramatic, daring, and full of history.
At Totally Stoned Jewelry, each gemstone is carefully cut and set to highlight its unique beauty. Whether you’re drawn to the classic sparkle of a round, the sleek lines of an emerald, or the romance of a cushion, we’ll help you find (or design) the cut that feels like you.
