Marilyn Monroe once said, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend!” and we couldn’t agree more. So if you are looking for an engagement ring and want to go the traditional route, then choosing a diamond ring is the way to go! Choosing from the many available fancy shaped diamonds allows you to find a gem that is both durable and stunning.
Diamonds are the hardest-known gemstone on the planet, ranking 10/10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Due to their durability along with unmatched brilliance and sparkle, diamonds have always been a favorite amongst brides when it comes to choosing an engagement ring.
Among the endless shapes diamonds are available in, from the classic round to fancy-shaped diamonds, you can definitely find the one that suits your style. But do you know that your preferred shape can actually say a lot about your personality?
Though there’s no science to justify these conclusions, they are quite fun to know. According to Diamond Cutters International, there are symbolic meanings of each shape. So let’s dive in to find out what your preference says about you!
Round Shape
Let’s start with the most loved and preferred fancy shaped diamonds; the classic round, brilliant cut.
Rooted in tradition, a round diamond is favored for its perfect symmetry and light performance. Women who choose a round diamond are said to be traditional in nature. They are honest, committed, somewhat conservative and have a classy and elegant style in accessories.
Princess Shape
The ‘Princess’ cut (square modified brilliant-cut) is synonymous with the women with a strong will. This fancy shape of a diamond means that she is a fun-loving person, true to heart, loves making spontaneous plans, fearless leader, and exudes passion in all that she does.
Oval Fancy Shaped Diamonds
Oval diamond engagement rings are also one of the most desired shapes as they add a more slender appearance to the fingers with their elongated shape. Choosing an oval shape means that you think out of the box, while staying connected with tradition. It shows that you are a dependable person, and oftentimes, a bit predictable.
Cushion Fancy Shaped Diamonds
The feminist in you will say thank you for choosing the cushion shape. The cushion-shaped diamond was once a very popular shape for engagement rings and has now resurfaced to become a favorite again among the new brides. This shape conveys that the wearer is effortlessly elegant, yet contemporary and highly feminine.
Marquise Shape
Women who place a high value on status generally choose the fancy shaped diamonds. They have laser focus on their goals and drive their efforts to achieve them. They like to think out of the box; they love drama; and they are edgy and are not afraid to speak their minds.
Marquise shape is definitely one of the most stylish shapes of diamond. And since marquise diamonds appear bigger than they are, modern brides love it. Engagement rings with marquise-shaped diamonds are definitely game-changer fancy rings that people swoon over!
Emerald Shape
If sophistication is your middle name then the emerald-shaped diamond is the perfect shape to define your personality! This elegant cut makes your fingers look longer and thinner. In addition, it adds a brilliant sparkle that enhances the stone’s size. Because of this, emerald shape lovers are confident and self-assured. They trust their own taste instead of looking for approval from others.
Pear Fancy Shaped Diamonds
The exceptional tear-drop or pear-shaped diamond ring is one of the most loved and highly popular engagement rings. The pear-shaped diamonds represent that the wearer is highly stylish, known to experiment with her looks, easy and fun to be with, and outgoing in nature. It is also said that women who choose this shape, know heartbreak, but refuse to let it define who they are.
If you think that any of these shapes defines your personality then choosing that style would be a great idea. Ultimately, you can choose your preferred style with no meaning attached to it other than, “I like this shape!” So go ahead and get to shopping!
