\"What<\/div>\n

First off, the most popular shape of diamond is the round<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

No doubt about it.<\/h2>\n

\nIt has been, and it always will be the best selling<\/strong>, “go to<\/strong>” diamond shape ever for an engagement ring or wedding set.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s the other cuts of diamond<\/strong>, the fancy shapes<\/strong> that I’m talking about.<\/p>\n

Modern trends:<\/h2>\n

\nThe marquise cut<\/strong> diamond used to be the best selling stone back in the 80’s and 90’s<\/strong>. Everybody wanted that football shape. It sold like hot cakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThen the trend shifted briefly into trilliant cuts<\/strong> (triangular cuts of diamond). That was hot hot hot for about 5 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThen came the princess cut diamond<\/strong>, which basically blew all other cuts away (except the round). The princess cut (either square <\/strong>or rectangular<\/strong>) has been ultra popular<\/strong> ever since. Plus, the princess cut has the brilliance of a brilliant cut diamond<\/strong>. So the emerald <\/strong>cut (step cut diamond which lacked sparkle), took a back seat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nToday, the princess cut diamond still sells exceptionally well<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

But it’s not on top!<\/h2>\n

\nRadiant cuts<\/strong> were popular for a bit, and the same with cushion cuts<\/strong>. Cushion cuts were, and still are, one of the most affordable cuts<\/strong> there is. Sometimes as much as 50% less<\/strong> than rounds (see some cushion cut diamonds here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But what’s hot right now?<\/h2>\n

\nOVALS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOval cut diamonds are not a new cut<\/strong> at all. They’ve been around forever<\/strong>. But they have gained momentum because they are longer cuts of stone, and look beautiful in pave or halo mountings<\/strong>. They appear soft and delicate because of the curved edges<\/strong>, but accentuate the length of the finger (which women like). They are very brilliant diamonds, look bigger than a round, have no sharp edges, and have taken the mainstream by storm<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nJust venture into any jewelry store, or any online website and you’ll see ovals everywhere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
