Diamond Shapes: What Speaks to You?

A diamond’s shape is one of the first things we notice—it's the silhouette, the outline, the personality of the stone. From the elegance of a classic Round to the flair of a Marquise, each shape tells its own story. Just like people, no two diamonds are alike, and everyone is drawn to a different kind of beauty.

At Adrisya, we believe that the diamond you choose should reflect who you are—your taste, your spirit, your journey. That’s why we offer a variety of shapes, each with its own charm and characteristics.

Let’s explore them together.

Your Jewellery, Your Style

You're the one who’ll admire your ring or jewellery every single day—so the diamond shape you choose should feel uniquely you. Pick a shape that speaks to your personality, one that you’re drawn to and that reflects your style.

While Round diamonds continue to reign as the most popular choice, there’s a whole world of shapes to explore beyond the classic. Curious about how the others compare?

Here’s a look at the general popularity of each diamond shape by percentage.

Shape vs Cut: What’s the Difference?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean very different things.

• Shape is the outline or form of the diamond—like Round, Princess, Oval, etc.

• Cut refers to how well the diamond has been faceted and proportioned to reflect light. A well-cut diamond will sparkle brilliantly, regardless of shape.

 Understanding Length-to-Width Ratio

For fancy-shaped diamonds (anything other than round), the length-to-width ratio gives you an idea of how stretched or compact the diamond will look from the top.

This ratio is simply the length divided by the width, and while there are preferred ratios for each shape, your personal preference always comes first.

For example:

• A square Cushion or Princess diamond will have a ratio close to 1.00.

• An elongated Oval or Marquise might range from 1.30 to 2.00, depending on how slender you want it to appear.
