Hi all,
The more and more research I do, the more and more confused I become!
I am getting ready to get a custom ring, necklace, earrings made and am trying to pick a center stone I want as the base. But the more research I do, the more shapes I find. The more shapes I find, the more modified shapes of the shapes I find. I have seen links or threads to topics similar to this topic, but many are dated from long ago.
Could anyone post any other shapes I am missing and/or links to what these shapes look like. Many look similar or the same to me (radiant and princess, for example). I want to make sure I see all possibilities before I get my set made.
These are the cuts I have seen so far - am I missing any?
Asscher
Square Cut
Emerald
Radiant
Princess
Old Miner
Marquis
Round
Oval
Pear
Heart
Cushion
Jubilee
Old European Cut
Tiffany Patented Legacy cut
Also, please elaborate if there are modified shapes to one of these shapes (Cushion, for example, seems to have rounded, squared, cushette, etc. I am so confused!)
I would like to also know of links that have the *pencil drawing* of the shapes - sometimes to me that is easier to see the intended shape than pictures of the actual diamond.
Thanks in advance!
