There are numerous types of cuts that are the most desirable. Among them you can find: heart, marquise,  pear, princess, oval, emerald & trillion. As I stated before the shape is of great influence on the extent a diamond shines, but another important factor that influences the shining of a diamond is its cut: A diamond that was cut with a low professinal standard will be less shiny than a professionally cut diamond.

Don’t be confused: the cut of a diamond is not a about a diamond’s shape. It’s about its width, durability, depth, clarity width and other factors of a diamond. An example to a cutting problem can be a diamond that is too thick, a diamond that is too thin, cracks, broken culets, misalignment & many other.

The diamond cut should be a valuable factor you should consider after you decided which diamond shape you prefer. During the shopping process, make a comparison between some diamonds of the same shape & look for the one that shines better than the others, no matter what lighting is used. This way you will get to enjoy a high quality diamond that will look prestigious to the ones you know.
