Diamond Shapes
The most interesting fact a bit diamond is that they come in
so many different shapes. When choosing a diamond the first thing to think about
is what shape you would like. All diamond shapes except round are considered to
be fancy shapes. The reason behind this is because the round diamond is the
traditional and classical diamond shapes. All diamond shapes have different and
unique qualities, all reflect light differently, suit different types of hands
and of course are all priced differently. If you do not know which diamond shape
you are after you should think about what the diamond is going to be used for.
For example if it is going to be used in a ring you should consider the fingers
it will be worn upon. If the wearer has long and narrow fingers, she can
elegantly wear a pear shape, marquise, or oval shape diamond. However if she has
short and wide fingers these diamonds will cover too much of the finger and look
too big. Small hands look better in round or princess shaped diamonds.
