Grinding
Brilliant cut
A round cut with many facets, developed to provide maximum light play. The light is reflected in multiple directions, creating a distinct sparkle. The shape is symmetrical and appears centered on the hand.
Tip: Choose brilliant if you want maximum sparkling effect on your finger.
Comparison: Reflects more light than emerald, oval, or pear-shaped.

Grinding
Pear Cut
A brilliant cut with a point. It offers the same sparkling light as a round brilliant, but with a shape that draws the eye along the finger. The silhouette often makes the finger appear longer.
Tip: Choose a pear shape if you want your finger to look longer and slimmer.
Comparison: Similar to a brilliant in light, but longer on the finger.

Grinding
Emerald (Emerald Cut)
A step-cut diamond with straight lines and large, open facets. Light is reflected in broad, slow surfaces instead of sparkles. This makes clarity and structure more visible than in brilliant-cut stones.
Tip: Choose an emerald if you want to clearly display the stone's clarity.
Comparison: Less sparkle than brilliant, oval and pear-shaped – a more serene light.

Grinding
Oval (Oval Cut)
An elongated brilliant cut with the same type of light play as the round brilliant. The shape can make the diamond appear larger and gives a more elongated expression that follows the finger.
Tip: Choose an oval if you want the diamond to look bigger and the finger longer.
Comparison: Similar to a brilliant in sparkle, but with a more elongated shape.

Sammanfattande råd – att välja form
Briljant ger mest gnister, smaragd visar klarhet tydligare, oval upplevs större och droppformad förlänger fingret.
Utgå från hur ringen sitter på fingret och vilket uttryck du söker. Prova gärna olika slipningar för att se vad som känns rätt.
