Do you love gemstones as much as we do? These natural beauties come in many shapes, colours, and sizes, and each one has its own unique charm and personality. But did you know that the way a gemstone is cut can make a huge difference in how it looks and shines?
A good cut can enhance the colour, clarity, and brilliance of a gemstone. In this blog, we'll show you the top five most popular and beautiful gemstone cuts that will make you fall in love with them.
Round Cut
The round cut is the OG of gemstone cuts. It's been around for centuries, and it's still the most popular and classic cut of all time. Why? Because it's simply brilliant. Literally. The round cut has 58 facets (or faces) that are symmetrically arranged around the centre of the stone. This creates a balanced and harmonious look that reflects and refracts light like nobody's business.
The gorgeous round cut ring will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your outfit, whether you're dressing up or down.
Princess Cut
The princess cut is the queen of gemstone cuts. It's the second most popular cut, especially for engagement rings. Why? Because it's chic and edgy. The princess cut has a square shape with four pointed corners. It has 49 to 144 facets, depending on the size and quality of the stone.
A bold princess cut ring will give you a lot of fire and brilliance, as well as a modern and trendy look.
Cushion Cut
The cushion cut is a vintage and elegant gemstone cut that dates back to the 18th century. Why? Because it's classy and refined. The cushion cut has a square or rectangular shape with rounded corners and sides. It has 58 facets that create a soft and romantic glow, as well as a large table (or top surface) that showcases the colour and clarity of the stone.
If you're looking for a piece that's cosy and festive, you'll adore a minimal flower ring with a beautiful cushion cut diamond studded in a 14K gold setting.
Heart Cut
The heart cut is the most romantic and adorable gemstone cut of all time. Why? Because it's sweet and sentimental. The heart cut has a heart shape that symbolises love and affection. It has 56 to 58 facets that create a lot of sparkle and fire, as well as a distinctive cleft (or notch) at the top of the stone. The heart cut is not easy to make, so it requires a lot of skill and precision from the cutter.

The baguette cut has a rectangular shape with straight edges and parallel sides. It has 14 facets that create a smooth and shiny surface, as well as a geometric and minimalist look.
