Portuguese cut
The Portuguese cut is a captivating and intricate gemstone cut known for its remarkable use of facets to create an exceptionally brilliant and dazzling effect. It is characterized by its complex faceting pattern, which includes multiple concentric circles of facets on both the crown (top) and the pavilion (bottom) of the stone.
Ghoswala (round bead)
In the jewelry world, diamonds and other gemstones can indeed be fashioned into beads for various uses, including in bracelets, necklaces, and other adornments. These diamond beads can range from rough and natural textures to highly polished and faceted designs that enhance their sparkle and appeal.
Butterfly
The Butterfly cut is a unique and specialized diamond or gemstone cut designed to resemble the shape of a butterfly. This intricate cut is not standard and belongs to a category of gemstone cuts known as "fancy cuts," which are crafted to create specific shapes, motifs, or optical effects beyond the traditional round, oval, pear, etc.
Duck
Creating a duck-shaped diamond involves a highly specialized and artistic process known as fancy or custom cutting, where the diamond is meticulously sculpted to resemble the shape of a duck. This custom gem cutting goes beyond the typical facets and symmetry of standard diamond cuts (like round, princess, or emerald cuts) and enters the realm of gemstone artistry and sculpture.
Bat
Creating a bat-shaped diamond involves an artistic and highly specialized approach, blending the techniques of gem cutting and sculptural art to transform a diamond into the silhouette or detailed form of a bat. This process falls into the category of novelty or custom gemstone cuts, which are tailored to produce specific shapes and designs rather than the traditional geometrical forms associated with standard gemstone cuts.
Flower
A flower-shaped diamond is a marvel of gem cutting artistry, reflecting a masterful combination of precision and creativity. This intricate cut transforms a diamond into the likeness of a flower, complete with petals and sometimes even a central pistil, capturing the natural beauty of floral elements in the brilliance of a diamond.
Hexagon
A hexagon-shaped diamond features a six-sided geometric shape that offers a modern and distinct alternative to traditional diamond cuts. This cut belongs to the category of fancy shapes, emphasizing clean lines and angular symmetry to create a contemporary aesthetic.
Octagon
An octagon-shaped diamond features eight sides, combining the elegance of geometric precision with the timeless beauty of diamond craftsmanship. This shape is part of the broader category of fancy diamond cuts, offering a unique alternative to the traditional round, oval, or square cuts.

Rose cuts
The rose cut diamond is a distinctive and historical diamond cut that dates back to the early 16th century. Characterized by its flat bottom and domed top, which is covered in triangular facets that mimic the petals of a rose unfolding, the rose cut aims to achieve a soft, subtle sparkle rather than the brilliant fire and scintillation seen in modern cuts.
Briollete
The Briolette cut is one of the oldest diamond cuts, with a history that dates back to as early as the 12th century. It is a unique and exquisite cut, featuring a teardrop or pear shape with a faceted surface covering its entire form. Unlike traditional cuts where facets are primarily on the top (crown) and bottom (pavilion) of the stone, the Briolette is entirely covered in facets, making it one of the few cuts with 360-degree faceting.
