What is a fancy cut diamond?
The term fancy cut is used for all diamond shapes other than the standard round (brilliant) cut. While the round brilliant has been the most famous cut for centuries, more and more people are choosing diamonds with a distinctive shape. Fancy cut diamonds combine a contemporary look with a unique character, making every ring feel just a little more personal. Although each cut has its own appearance, the properties of the diamond remain the same. A fancy cut diamond is just as hard, durable, and valuable as a round diamond. The difference lies solely in the way the rough diamond is cut and how light is reflected through the stone. Some cuts provide maximum brilliance (round and oval), while others are known for their calm, mirror-like reflection (emerald or baguette) or elegant silhouette.
At Aurore Jewelry, we work exclusively with carefully selected premium lab-grown diamonds. These diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to natural diamonds and offer the same exceptional beauty, but with a modern and sustainable origin.
Discover the different fancy cut shapes
Every diamond tells its own story. That is why our collection consists of various cuts, each with its own unique aesthetic.
Oval diamond
The oval diamond is one of the most popular cuts of the moment. Thanks to its elongated shape, the diamond appears optically larger than a round diamond of the same carat weight. Furthermore, the oval shape creates an elegant lengthening effect on the finger, making it especially popular as an engagement ring. The combination of maximum brilliance and refined lines makes the oval diamond a modern classic.
Emerald diamond
The emerald cut is known for its quiet luxury. Instead of hundreds of small sparkles, it creates a special mirror effect where large facets of light alternate. This so-called hall of mirrors effect emphasizes the clarity of the diamond and gives the ring a timeless, architectural look. The emerald cut is a favorite among lovers of minimalist design and classic elegance.
Pear diamond
The pear diamond combines the round softness of a brilliant cut with the elegant point of a marquise. This creates a feminine and sophisticated look that looks beautiful in solitaire rings. Thanks to its elongated shape, this diamond also appears larger than many other cuts of the same carat weight.
Fancy cut diamonds as an engagement ring
More and more couples are choosing an engagement ring with a fancy cut diamond. Where for years almost exclusively round diamonds were chosen, we now see a clear shift towards unique cuts that radiate more personality. An oval diamond is loved for its elegant appearance and generous size. The emerald cut appeals to lovers of modern luxury, while the pear shape radiates romance and sophistication. The marquise and cushion cuts are also gaining popularity rapidly because they combine a distinctive look with a timeless design.
Because an engagement ring is a piece of jewelry that is worn for a lifetime, it is important that it perfectly matches the personality of the wearer. That is exactly why fancy cut diamonds offer so many possibilities.
