Diamond Shapes We Love This Year!

It can be difficult to keep up with the new trends in the jewelry industry. While certain styles reign as the most popular options, others have made surprising jumps into mainstream diamond buying.

We’ve hand-picked our favorite diamond shapes for 2020 and with this information as a guide, you can find the perfect ring! Here are the diamond shapes we love this year!

Emerald Diamonds

Emerald shaped diamonds are known for their distinctive rectangular shape. The sides of these stones are cut in a step-like pattern which gives the illusion of dimension — it’s easy to get lost in the depths of an emerald-shaped diamond.

What to Know About the 4 Cs of Emerald Shaped Diamonds

  • Cut – Emerald diamonds are part of the fancy shape family, so they do not receive a cut grade. However, the shape of emerald diamonds are made to create an effect that mimics the depth of mirrors reflecting one another.
  • Clarity – This cut is prone to showing any imperfections or blemishes, so keep an eye out for a ring with a high clarity rating. 
  • Color – If you want a “purer” look, choose a high color grade, because emerald-shaped diamonds show warm colors quite easily.
  • Carat – This cut is suitable for smaller diamonds as it is designed to look larger than it actually is!

Oval Diamonds

Oval-shaped diamonds are known for their lengthened round shape. Oval engagement rings are perfect for anyone seeking a classic and bold look all at once. This diamond shape pairs well with other shapes, but can also make a statement on its own.

What to Know About the 4 Cs of Oval-Shaped Diamonds

  • Cut – Oval-shaped diamonds are considered a ‘fancy shape’, so they will not have a cut grade.
  • Clarity – If your chosen stone features some blemishes, this cut may be perfect as it hides blemishes well.
  • Color – Oval-shaped diamonds show colors, so if you are looking to avoid a warm-toned stone, choose one with a higher color grade.
  • Carat – These stones are made to look larger than they actually are. You can get the most out of a smaller stone by utilizing this cut.

Pear Diamonds

This diamond stone shape is unique in that it combines both round and pointed elements to create a bold and delicate look. These rings are often paired with other stones to highlight the quality of the center stone. However, pear-shaped diamonds can be perfect for the minimalist who prefers a solitaire ring.

What to Know About the 4 Cs of Pear-Shaped Diamonds

  • Cut – This stone shape is also a fancy shape, so it will not have a cut grade.
  • Clarity – Similar to oval-shaped stones, pear-shaped diamonds don’t hide blemishes well.
  • Color – This shape isn’t great for hiding warmer-toned stones, we suggest staying above ‘H’ or ‘G’ color grades.
  • Carat – This cut requires a good-sized stone to achieve its classic elongated look.

Round-Shaped Diamonds

Classic. Gorgeous. Sparkly. Round-shaped diamonds are all of these, and they are a perfect match for anyone who prefers a more traditional look. They are also a perfect solitaire option and can certainly stand out. 

What to Know About the 4 Cs of Round-Shaped Diamonds

  • Cut – If you want to maximize brilliance, go for excellent or very good cut quality.
  • Clarity –  This diamond shape will not hide blemishes well.
  • Color – Warmer-toned diamonds don’t stick out as much in round-shaped diamonds because they reflect a lot of light.
  • Carat – This cut makes diamonds look true-to-size.

Final Thoughts

That said, it can be challenging to settle on a diamond shape with things constantly changing! If you keep current with new styles and trends, you can find a diamond shape that will stay in fashion for a long time to come.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
