Fashion changes faster than phone updates, but diamonds? They’ve been serving main-character energy for centuries. Size is nice, sure, but that’s not what makes a diamond stop you mid-scroll. It’s the cut that gives it life, that flicker you can’t quite explain.
Maybe you’re just window-shopping, maybe you’re deep in engagement-ring Pinterest boards, or maybe you just want to finally tell a princess cut from a pear. Either way, this little guide will get you there.
Cut to the Chase
A cut isn’t only a shape. It’s the way the stone handles light. The better the angles, the brighter the gleam.
Round Cut
She's the icon, she's the legend, and she is the moment. Designed with precise facets that reflect light evenly, it gives a brilliant, balanced gleam that suits every kind of jewellery. You’ll see it best in Palmonas’ Classic Solitaire Lab Grown Diamond Ring, the definition of classic done right.
Princess Cut
The princess cut is sharp, modern, and symmetrical. Its square shape and clean lines give off a bright, confident light that feels fresh yet classic. If you want something refined with a little edge, the Princess Cut Sparkler 925 Silver Studs show this design at its best.
Emerald Cut
Long, open facets. Straight lines. That calm, mirror-like gleam you can spot across a room. It’s less “look at me” and more “you’ll notice eventually.” The Classic Emerald Cut Ring carries that quiet-luxury feel that’s all over our feeds right now.
Pear Cut
A pear cut combines the round and marquise shapes to create a gentle teardrop form. Its outline flatters the hand and gives jewellery a graceful, fluid look. The Dazzling Diamond Set highlights how this shape catches and reflects light with movement.
Cushion Cut
Rounded corners, deep facets, and that slightly vintage mood that feels warm instead of flashy. The Cushion Cut doesn’t glitter in tiny pinpoints; it flashes in bigger waves of light. It’s nostalgic, soft, and still quietly dramatic.
Oval Cut
Take the brilliance of a round cut and stretch it a little. That’s an Oval. It flatters the hand, feels modern, and gives this smooth, unbroken flow of light. It’s one of those cuts that works on absolutely everyone.
Marquise Cut
If you're into a little drama, this’ll suit your vibe. Pointed ends, long body, just enough flair to make fingers look longer and more elegant. It’s bold without trying too hard.
Asscher Cut
Structured, square, layered facets that pull the light right into the centre. It’s precise, geometric, and a little bit architectural…a cut for people who appreciate order and detail.
Real Talk: Lab-Grown Diamonds Are the Smart Move
Lab-grown diamonds are shifting things big time. They’re real diamonds, created in labs instead of mines. Same structure, same gleam, just a cleaner story. They’re easier on the planet and on your budget, too.
If you’re looking for a diamond necklace or diamond bangles, lab-grown pieces make sense. At Palmonas, our demi fine jewellery line uses lab-grown diamonds to give you the same luxury feeling without the heavy price tag.
The Last Word
Diamonds aren’t just decorations. They hold small reflections of who you are.
Whether it’s a princess cut diamond ring or a cushion cut diamond pendant, choose the one that feels like you.
