Different Shapes of Diamonds

Diamonds come in various shapes, each with its own unique characteristics and allure. From the classic round brilliant cut to the elegant princess, emerald, and oval shapes, there's a shape to suit every style and preference. The round brilliant cut, with its meticulously studied proportions, stands as the epitome of diamond perfection, carrying timeless symbolism and universal appeal. While round diamonds are renowned for their brilliance and elegance, fancy-shaped diamonds offer distinct charm at a generally lower cost. However, assessing their quality requires careful consideration of proportions and size.

Ultimately, the choice of diamond shape is often dictated by the original rough diamond's shape and the positioning of any natural imperfections, known as inclusions. Explore our curated collection of diamond shapes to find the perfect expression of your unique style and personality.

Advantages of Choosing Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds boast impeccable clarity and brilliance, matching or surpassing natural diamonds, ensuring timeless elegance in every piece of jewelry.

Minimal Environmental Impact

Produced in controlled environments, lab-grown diamonds minimize ecological harm compared to traditional mining methods and promote sustainability in the jewelry industry.

Value

Offering high-quality diamonds at a more accessible price point, lab-grown diamonds provide exceptional value without compromising on beauty, ethics, or sustainability.

How and where are diamonds formed?

Diamonds form deep within the Earth's mantle under intense heat and pressure, crystallizing carbon atoms into the diamond structure. Originating around 100 miles below the surface, temperatures surpass 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, and pressure exceeds millions of pounds per square inch. Often transported by ancient volcanic eruptions, diamonds reside in igneous rocks like kimberlite pipes. Over time, erosion releases diamonds into riverbeds and sedimentary deposits. This journey, spanning millions to billions of years, yields only a fraction of intact diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds, created in controlled environments, replicate Earth's conditions through high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods.
