What Does Your Preferred Diamond Shape Say About You?

Whether you are a blushing bride excited to venture into the world of diamonds alongside your partner, or whether you are an eager groom-to-be in search of the perfect ring for the love of your life, you may wonder where exactly you should start the engagement ring shopping process.


We often recommend determining the diamond shape or shapes you like best to create a foundation from which to build and design your perfect ring. While diamonds are beautiful, sparkly, and show-stopping in nature, they behold more than meets the eye. Diamond shapes reflect and enhance the wearer’s personality; they can highlight those characteristics you have grown to love about your partner, or they can highlight aspects of your personality with which you have yet to reveal to the world. 

 

Diamonds can be bold, timeless, elegant, feminine, edgy, fun-loving, and so much more. So, what exactly does your preferred diamond shape say about your personality? Or, how can you be sure that you are choosing the best diamond shape to enhance your personality? 

 

Read through our diamond shape list to find the diamond with which you best identify. Keep an open mind, you may be surprised!
