The fire and brilliance of every diamond shape is a little different

There is a definite divide, however, between the new and old diamond cuts

The new versions of these old shapes are brighter than their antique counterparts but not quite the high voltage of the real moderns.

Which is better? Each has a unique personality, whether strong or subtle. The beauty contest is judged by the eye of the beholder.

Far and away the most popular diamond shape for engagement rings is the round brilliant. Designed by Marcel Tolkowsky in 1919

the round brilliant has an ingenious arrangement of fifty-eight facets, which cause the light beams to bounce from the pavilion back through the crown

On top of its great light, the shape is really versatile in designs

The round brilliant looks classic in simple settings and blends harmoniously with elaborate rings

The lopsided, voluptuous, and feminine pear has played a starring role in jewelry since at least the eighteenth century

when pear shaped stones were called pendeloques and used as pendants in diamond necklaces and chandelier earrings

They are one of the most difficult shapes for lapidaries to cut because of their unusual form

In fact, some say that the art of diamond cutting is best expressed in a large, luscious, contemporary pear with fifty-six to fifty-eight facets

Pears are delicious in rings with garnishes. Be aware that with the pear, it is difficult to find a wedding band that fits perfectly underneath the rump of the stone

Some engagement rings lift the stone a bit above the finger so a wedding band can snuggle up next to it. If the ring is not designed to accommodate a wedding band, a couple can have one specially made with a curve in the center, or a bride can wear here pear solo

The princess is a flirty, flashy shape, Designed in 1961 by Arpad Nagy in London , it has a big flat crown, a square girdle, and anywhere from 49 to 144 facets

There is a hall-of-mirrors effect to the faceting that can hide many imperfections in color and clarity. The corners of the princess are sharp and should be protected in a ring setting with prongs to prevent chipping

Bold and beautiful engagement rings are best for the extrovert shape. The dazzling princess is made in heaven for eternity bands because the edges line up and create a solid wall of gems.

No shape more aptly fits the diamond nickname ice than the emerald cut. Developed in the Art Deco era, the emerald cut has long, glamorous lines

defined by a rectangular table, numerous step-cut facets down the crown and pavilion, and diagonally cut corners on the girdle

The large table shows off clarity better than any other shape. Its confusing name was taken from the most popular shape for emeralds in the 1920s

Emerald-cuts shine in designs with clean lines

The exotic rose has a round girdle, flat bottom, and domes crown covered with triangular facets.

Sometimes the facets rise to a point on top like a Hershey Candy kiss. Sometimes there is a small table

Invented during the fifteenth century in India , roses were popular in Europe until the eighteenth-century
                                                invention of the cushion. The pretty floral shape began to blossom again around 2000 in engagement rings

The marquise diamond is noble to the core. Legend has it that the shape- a ship shape really, with rounded sides and a point at each end- was invented during the eighteenth century reign of Louis XV

Vintage style rings are the greatest compliment to the old-world grace of marquise diamonds

The Asscher is a striking and dramatic square. Designed around 1902 by Abraham Asscher of the famous diamond-cutting Asschers of Amsterdam

Gem cutters, including the Asschers, began to make modern variations on the earlier style. The difference between the old and the new is mainly around the table.

Older Asschers have a small table and shimmering light. Modern variations have a larger table and more brilliance. Geometric Art Deco and frilly Edwardian-style engagement rings work best with the Asscher

The cushion delivers sophistication and elegance. In the age of candlelight- that is, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

Cushions made a big comeback as a refined, ladylike shape for engagement rings in the late 1990s with the renewed appreciation for vintage jewelry

The exquisite Ashoka is a new-old diamond shape. Launched in 1999 by William Goldberg, the shape is based on one legendary diamond named after the Buddhist warrior-king Ashoka (ca.265-238 B.C)

The beautiful Ashoka setting stands out in simple rings and looks elegant in neovintage designs.

The new Ashoka features a rectangular outline and sixty-two facets.  It has a unique fire and brilliance of its own, explains Goldberg. It is soft.

When gem-cutting techniques improved in the twentieth century, more diamonds were made into ovals. Like the round brilliant, the oval fits beautifully in both minimal-and maximal-style engagements.

 The firms first ring for the Lucida was a streamlined design made to show off the fine features of the shape. The idea of a setting created especially to turn on the lights of a gem, so to speak is reminiscent of revolutionary prong setting for the round brilliant.
