How to Choose the Perfect Diamond Cut for Your Style

October 10, 2025

Diamonds may be forever, but your diamond cut defines how your jewelry captures light — and personality. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless brilliance of a round cut or the architectural elegance of an emerald cut, understanding each shape helps you choose a piece that reflects you.

At Capucelli, every diamond is hand-selected for exceptional sparkle and precision. Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect cut for your style.

1. Round Brilliant Cut: The Icon of Classic Beauty

The round brilliant cut is the most popular — and for good reason. With 58 facets, it maximizes sparkle from every angle. It’s perfect for those who love timeless elegance and pieces that transition effortlessly from day to night.

Best for: Classic, romantic, and sophisticated styles.

2. Emerald Cut: Modern Luxury, Defined

The emerald cut is known for its long, clean lines and hall-of-mirrors effect. Rather than fiery brilliance, it offers a refined, sophisticated glow. At Capucelli, we often craft this cut in East-West settings for a bold, contemporary twist.

Best for: Minimalist, confident, and fashion-forward personalities.

3. Oval Cut: Effortless Grace

Oval diamonds elongate the finger and create an illusion of greater size. With a soft outline and brilliant sparkle, this shape flatters nearly every hand and works beautifully in both classic and modern designs.

Best for: Elegant, feminine, and versatile wearers.

4. Princess Cut: Bold and Radiant

Square in shape and bursting with light, the princess cut offers brilliance similar to a round diamond but with a more geometric edge. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and modern flair.

Best for: Trendsetters who love a mix of classic shine and bold design.

5. Marquise Cut: The Statement Maker

With its elongated, pointed shape, the marquise cut makes any piece look dramatic and distinctive. It’s known to make the finger appear longer and slimmer — ideal for those who love standout, fashion-forward pieces.

Best for: Glamorous, expressive, and confident individuals.

6. Pear Cut: Timeless with a Twist

The pear shape blends the round and marquise cuts, creating a graceful teardrop that’s both romantic and unique. Depending on how it’s set, it can look vintage or completely modern.

Best for: Romantic, creative, and sentimental personalities.
