There’s a difference between cut and shape, even though they’re related. Cut refers to the number and placement of a diamond’s facets, no matter what
shape the diamond may be. Shape refers to the overall form of the diamond — round, for example, or heart-shaped.
Clues for what shape she’s into.
Many women know what they like, and what looks best on their hand. Chances
are, she’s dropped hints — like pointing out a friend’s ring. If you have the
kind of relationship where you talk about everything, with no surprises, you can
always ask her. Try slipping a
Helzberg catalog in among her mail to open
the conversation. Look at her existing jewelry for clues. Or take one of her
friends, her sister or mother into your confidence. It’s the best way to learn
not only the shape she prefers, but the
setting, too.
