Cushion Cut
This cut is distinguished by its gentle square or rectangular shape with rounded corners, evoking the cozy image of a plush pillow. While it may have a subtler brilliance compared to round cuts, the Cushion Cut is celebrated for its remarkable fire – the ability to reflect a kaleidoscope of colors from various angles.
Our Cushion Cut gems are a nod to the romantic era of the early 1900s, drawing inspiration from the Old Mine Cut to infuse each piece with a touch of historic allure. This cut is perfect for those who appreciate the combination of a classic, soft silhouette with the dynamic play of light and color.
However, it’s important to note that the Cushion Cut's deeper design can result in a smaller face-up size compared to other cuts. This characteristic makes it an ideal candidate for those desiring a slightly larger carat weight, ensuring that the stone's presence is as impressive as its fire.

Oval Cut
Oval cut gemstones are a harmonious blend of symmetry and elegance, featuring an elongated, rounded shape that radiates brilliance. As a modified version of the brilliant cut, they share the same intricate faceting pattern as round gemstones. This cut artfully combines the classic allure of a round gemstone's fire and brilliance with a more unique, elongated silhouette. For those who cherish the luminosity of a round gemstone but seek a distinctive edge, the oval cut offers the perfect balance of traditional sparkle and contemporary charm.
Why Oval Cut?
The Oval Cut is a choice that marries aesthetic appeal with practical brilliance. These gemstones boast an expanded surface area, optimizing carat weight to present a gem that appears larger than a round diamond of the same carat. This not only offers an impressive visual appeal but also presents an economical option for those seeking grandeur within a budget.
The oval gemstone's elongated shape naturally complements the wearer's hand, aligning gracefully with the fingers' contours. Its ability to elongate and slenderize the appearance of the fingers makes it an especially flattering choice for engagement rings, lending a touch of elegance and sophistication.
But it’s not just about the shape. Oval cut gemstones are celebrated for their remarkable brilliance and sparkle. Expertly cut ovals display a dynamic play of light, with fire and scintillation that rivals even the most brilliant round diamonds. The light dispersion within the oval shape adds a lively, eye-catching quality to the stone, making it a standout choice for those who value both classic elegance and a hint of individuality.

Factors to Consider
When selecting a Pear Cut gemstone, one subtle yet important aspect to consider is the 'bow-tie effect.' This phenomenon, seen as a shadowy pattern resembling a bow-tie, can add a unique charm when subtle. However, a prominent bow-tie effect might detract from the gemstone's overall brilliance and appeal. At our store, we meticulously inspect each Pear Cut gemstone to ensure the bow-tie effect is just the right balance – present enough to add character but not so dominant as to overwhelm the gem's natural beauty. This careful selection process guarantees that our Pear Cut gemstones exhibit the perfect blend of elegance and enchantment.
