Diamond Shapes in the Guide: Round Brilliant, Baguette, Pear and more

A diamond is much more than just its carat weight. The cut (shape) determines the character and radiance of your piece of jewelry. While the brilliant cut provides maximum fire, fancy shapes give the jewelry an individual touch. At Sirius Diamant, we guide you through the world of cuts.

1. The Brilliant (Round Brilliant): The Undisputed Classic

The brilliant cut is designed to reflect light most intensely. With its 57 or 58 facets, it offers the most sparkle and is the most popular choice for engagement rings.

2. The Baguette Cut: Modern Geometry

Baguette diamonds are characterized by their clear, rectangular shape and step cut. They look particularly elegant in combination with other stones and emphasize a minimalist style.

3. The Pear Cut: Romance and Elegance

This shape combines the sparkle of the brilliant with the uniqueness of the marquise shape. A pear-shaped diamond on a ring makes the finger appear visually longer and more slender.

4. Princess Cut: For Modern Princesses

The square Princess cut is the modern alternative to the brilliant. It offers almost as intense a sparkle, but its corners give it a more contemporary and powerful look.

Which cut is right for you?

The choice depends on your personal style. Do you want maximum brilliance, or are you looking for a shape that emphasizes your individuality? At the Sirius Diamant manufactory, we will be happy to advise you on which cut best suits your hand and your budget.
