Shapes & Cuts

Shape is the first decision and the most personal one. Each cut handles light differently, wears differently, and says something different. A brief field guide, from the atelier’s side of the counter.

Round Brilliant

Fifty-seven facets engineered over a century for maximum fire. The brightest shape, the safest resale, the eternal default — view rounds.

Princess

Square, sharp, contemporary. Strong brilliance at a friendlier price per carat than round. Corners need a protective setting — view princess cuts.

Cushion

A pillow-soft square with antique soul and big, slow flashes of light. The romantic’s brilliant — view cushions.

Oval

Elongates the finger and faces up larger than its weight. The modern favourite for exactly those reasons.

Emerald

A step cut: long, mirror-like facets that flash rather than sparkle. Demands higher clarity and rewards it with pure elegance.

Radiant

Emerald’s silhouette with brilliant-cut fire — the best of both geometries. View radiants.

Pear

A teardrop that points gracefully down the finger; wears large, reads couture.

Marquise

The largest face-up spread of any shape per carat. Dramatic, regal, unmissable.

Asscher

The square step cut of the Art Deco era — an acquired taste that owners never un-acquire.

Heart

The most literal romance in gemcutting. Proportion is everything — ratio matters more than carat. View hearts.

Undecided? The honest shortcut: borrow her Pinterest, or send us a photo of anything she has admired — we’ll read the signals with you.
