carat weight/size

[JessesGrl]

Does anyone have a pic of all diamonds of the same carat weight but different shapes lined up side by side for comparison?

These are CZs that represent approximately what a 1 ct diamond would look like:

7x5 mm Emerald ct
10x5 mm Marquise
6.5 mm Round Brilliant
5.5x5.5 mm Princess
8x5 mm Pear
7x5 mm Oval

Everyone says the round brilliant looks bigger than the others but I have to say the marquis cut looks the biggest to me in that picture.

the oval looks smallest, I though the princess would have...

Cflutist, what are these stones ?

The sizes for weight appear to be the "calibrated" size for these shapes - assuming 60% depth... Is this true ?

The chart below was posted by Cflutist too on this other thread about shape & size

I seem to recall once being told that Marquise and Pear shaped are the biggest looking, for their relevant carat weight ...

The stones I posted are CZs which are calibrated to the 1 ct diamond sizes mentioned on the FAQ chart:

Obviously, the picture is not to scale since I had to crop and edit so it would be a size I could upload.
