Style Guide
Choosing a diamond is not just about price or size — it is about proportion, brilliance, and personal identity.
This guide has been curated to help you understand the cut styles, ring settings, and diamond formats so you can confidently select the perfect piece, whether you are buying a loose diamond or designing a bespoke ring.
Understanding the Diamond Shape
The shape of a diamond defines its visual personality and brilliance profile.Each shape reflects light differently and suits different hand styles and ring designs.

A modern square cut with sharp edges, offering a bold contemporary look with excellent brilliance.
Cushion
Soft, pillow-shaped corners that create a romantic vintage appeal with gentle light dispersion.

Natural vs Lab Grown Diamonds
Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with identical physical and optical properties.The difference lies in origin and rarity.
Choosing your Perfect Diamond
When selecting your diamond, focus on four core priorities:
Cut: Determines brilliance and light performance
Carat: Defines the diamond’s size and visual presence
Clarity: Measures internal inclusions and purity
Colour: Evaluates how colourless the diamond appears
These elements work together — the best diamond is not the biggest, but the one with the most balanced brilliance and proportion.
