Select Between Marquise, Princess Or Pear Cut Stones

By: Mardell Pan Home | Shopping-and-Products


Couples buy diamond rings to celebrate and give shape to the love and passion they share. Diamonds are known to be not only a girl’s best friend but also the best item to adorn bands when pairs decide to cement their relationship through engagement or marriage. Astrology asserts that diamonds share a close bond with Venus †the planet which symbolizes love, passion and union. Possibly this explains the huge popularity of diamonds as stones to embellish engagement rings and wedding bands. Diamonds top the chart, when people select stones for customized rings.

However, when you choose diamonds for your customized rings make sure that you educate yourself on the different cut stones that are available. The right information is equal to power and since you are going to buy something which is reasonably expensive, you should empower yourself with the right and correct information about diamond cut stones styles.

Once diamond became popular as an ornament in jewelry designs, different styles of cut stones became popular with buyers. The emergence of the marquis cut stone can be traced to King Louis XV, who specially ordered his court jeweler to design a diamond cut that will portray the exquisite shape of his mistress’s mouth. The result can be seen in the long oval shape of the marquis stone which stretches out on both sides. Marquis cut stones of diamonds are widely popular as the centre diamond stones for engagement or wedding rings. The specialty of this stone lays in the exquisite cut that it has. The stone, from the crown to the base is cut in rectangular facets giving the diamond a clear clarity, dazzle and shine which is matchless. A style of cut as unique as the marquise is given to the stone to eliminate blemishes from the surface and attribute it with enhanced sparkle, shine and glamour. Individuals looking for unmatched dazzle and shine in customized rings can look for marquis cut stones as perfect embellishments.

Princess or pear cut stones are also popular as customized ring and pendant adornments. The princess cut stone is the ideal choice for customized rings if you want the diamond to have the clean look of a rectangular shape but the brilliance of a round shaped one. An ideal combination of precision and sparkle, the princess cut diamond stones are the best choice for solitaires and pendants. This cut stone style has got triangular facets cut over its body with dashes of the emerald cut and right angled corners. The resulting brilliance and dazzle is something which diamond lovers absolutely adore. While it is the best choice for classic solitaires, it can also be centered amidst small gems and stones, to endow the customized piece of jewelry with more dazzle and better shine. When placed in the cradle of a ring, it is recommended that you protect its vulnerable sides with V-shaped prongs at each corner.

The pear cut stones of diamonds hold two shapes at the two ends. While one end has a rounded finish, the other has a tapered point. This shape of diamond works best for exquisite pendants as well as for drop earrings adornments. Good pear cut stones accommodate the best symmetry in its form and style. This is essential for the light to reflect out with accuracy and evenness. Smaller pear cut stones which are slightly asymmetrical are used for solitaires. Please remember that to mount pear cut stone in any design, a special five-prong setting is required. Mounted rightly, pear cut stones can be the best choice for the most feminine diamond jewelry.

The different styles of cut stones give the diamond jewelry pieces a unique specialty which is hard to get in any other gem jewelry. Fancy cut stones such as the marquis cut stones or the princess and pear cut stones are actually techniques and methods of cutting the stones to enhance the carat weight. Endow your diamond jewelry piece with customized grace and excel in the self-created beauty of the piece. Diamond is a very powerful stone and wearing the right style of cut stones will help to concentrate and channelize all the positive energies of the stone to the wearer.
