Vintage Diamond Cuts Are Trending

Although the classic solitaire round brilliant cut and princess cut diamond engagement ring remain a popular choice for brides to be, we have noticed vintage diamond cuts are making a comeback. The most popular vintage diamond cuts are the two step cuts - Asscher and Emerald cut diamonds, cushion cut and marquise shaped diamond.

The Asscher Cut

The Emerald Cut Diamond

Due to its long lines and rectangular shape, the emerald cut diamond looks absolutely stunning set in engagement rings. The cut is less fiery than a round brilliant and princess cut, but shows more dramatic flashes of light.

Cushion Cut Diamond

Marquise Cut Diamond

Apparently the diamond was commissioned by King Louis XV of France, who wanted a diamond shaped like his mistresses mouth. The shape was developed throughout the 20th century and has become a popular brilliant cut diamond.
