Diamonds and gemstones are great, but maybe you’re not sure which cut to choose. When you’re narrowing down your search, consider your personality. Yes, really! Here are some of the cuts from which you can choose - and what your diamond shape says about you:
round
You’re a big fan of balance and timeless styles. You love those classic Nancy Meyers movies like “Something’s Gotta Give” and “It’s Complicated,” and you probably dream about living in a perfectly curated home. You tend to stick to simple styles (like round-cut diamonds) rather than giving in to trends, and you definitely know what you like — future spouse included.
princess
You love the sparkle and shimmer of this brilliant cut because you feel like it speaks to your personality. You’re fun-loving, clever and some people call you a natural born leader, even if your siblings call you “bossy.” Regardless, you’re a go-getter that does all the things.
cushion
You’re a hopeless romantic who lives for an unexpected compliment, a bit of flirting and a surprise gift or impromptu party. You love the feminine look of a cushion-cut diamond because it’s at once elegant, delicate and speaks to your soul.
emerald
These rectangular-shaped diamonds are like a window into your insight. You’re open, honest and refined. You like to keep some of your personality closer to the chest, giving you an aura of intrigue, and that’s just how you prefer it.
oval
You’re creative and fun, you look at the world with rose-colored glasses, and you’re the type of person that rolls with whatever the day may bring. An art project? A spur-of-the-minute outing? A surprise party? Yes to all! Oval styles are your go-to.
marquise
Now you, you like all the drama or being drama adjacent, don’t you? Whether it’s the tea in your family or among your friend group, you enjoy hearing those backstories and savoring tidbits of trivia. But you’re not all gossip. You’ve got plenty of glamour too — just like a marquise cut. You yourself are kind of like a Real Housewife, but without the cattiness.
pear
Do you identify with Phoebe from “Friends” more than any other character? If so, a pear-shaped diamond may speak to your “Smelly Cat” soul. You’re quirky, off-beat and absolutely lovable. And you shrug off what other people think, whether it’s spastically running through a park, dancing in the rain or joining an open mic night and making it up as you go.
radiant
You’re always up for a challenge, whether it’s signing up for your first 5K, training for a week hiking the Pacific Northwest or taking up a new hobby. You’re that no-nonsense, practical person who isn’t afraid to get down and dirty as you march toward your goals, whatever they may be, making a radiant-cut stone a practical choice.
asscher
You’re the queen of soul. You have an affinity for all things retro, and to know you is to know that you have a heart of gold and a nostalgic soul. An asscher-cut diamond hits all the vintage-loving notes in your personality.
heart
You’re hopelessly devoted to all those in your life — that fiercely loyal friend or partner everyone can count on. You cry at a good book and cheer on the couples in your favorite rom-coms. Heart-cut diamonds embody who you are.
