Shape
The shape of the diamond you choose is purely a matter of personal taste and depends on your response to different silhouettes. A wide variety of shapes can be used for the center and side stones in a ring, ranging from the most popular round brilliant with its maximum sparkle, and squares like princess and Royal Asscher, to rectangles like emerald, radiant, and elegant elongated or tapered shapes like oval, pear, and marquise.
