The Shapes of Diamonds

at 9:44 PM
Shapes to suit every fancy. Each of the popular diamond shapes has its own charm and appeal. From the brilliant Rounds to the stately Marquis, every possible shape for diamonds is a treasure.

Some Observations on Shapes

Round is the most popular of all the diamond shapes, perhaps because it is the most brilliant.

The Heart shape is basically a clefted Pear. With heart shape diamonds, personal appeal is important. Not every heart will have pleasing proportions for all people. Some prefer broad hearts. Some prefer narrow.

The Oval shape is much like round. Although it is elliptical, oval stones get many of the same angles of cut as round diamonds. Oval diamonds are sometimes set in rings with their length running with the length of the finger when worn.

Lucida Diamond

at 9:43 PM

The Lucida diamond is made from the same rough as a well-cut round. Created by Tiffany's gemologists, the cut is similar to the Asscher and antique Cushion Cuts. Tiffany showcases the Lucida cut in a special four-prong ring shown below. The sculptural band has clean lines and soft curves that merge with the prongs in a sloping crisscross design, which, when viewed from the side, is reminiscent of cathedral arches.

Largest Diamond

at 9:41 PM

A huge gem stone which could become the largest polished round diamond in history has been discovered.


The massive stone is the 20th largest rough diamond ever found, weighs 478 carats and is of outstanding clarity, said Gem Diamonds.

It was recovered at the Letseng Mine, owned by the company, in Lesotho earlier this week.

Another similar sized rough stone from the same mine was recently valued at 12 million US dollars.

But the clarity and round shape of this gem mean it could be worth considerably more and in its polished state could fetch tens of millions of pounds.

It is estimated to be capable of producing a 150 carat polished gem stone, dwarfing the Koh-i-Noor diamond which is part of the Crown Jewels.

A spokesman for Gem Diamonds added that initial examination suggested that the white diamond, which has yet to be named and valued, has a completely flawless centre.

The mine, which was owned by famous diamond company De Beers for many years, has already produced three of the world's biggest diamonds including the 603 carat Lesotho Promise, the 493 carat Leteng Legacy and the 601 carat Lesotho Brown.

Clifford Elphick, chief executive officer of Gem Diamonds, said "Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that it will yield a record breaking polished stone of the very best colour and clarity."

The find is still dwarfed by the Cullinan Diamond which was discovered in 1905.

At 3,106 carats it was the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found but the biggest polished stone produced from it, the Great Star of Africa - 530 carats - is a teardrop shape.

The Koh-i-noor is a round cut but at 105 carats it is smaller than the potential size of the new find.

It originated in India but was seized by Britain as a spoil of war in 1849. It supposedly brings good luck to female owners and misfortune or death to any male who wears or owns it
