Diamond Shapes & Cuts
The stunning shape of the silhouette and the precise math of the cut determine how our diamonds sit on a hand.
Shaping Brilliance
Shape and cut are different, but they are a match made to bring sophistication in every detail. While the shape is the diamond’s outline, its cut determines how the light moves and reflects through the diamond. Performance is decided by cut, but shape is the most personal choice. Whatever your preference–round, oval, pear, emerald, marquise, each Pieter Andries cut is designed for brilliance. Your perfect shape, made to shine.
Round Brilliant
A classic shape with an unmatched cut. The timeless round brilliant is the most studied cut in jewelry, with fifty-seven facets beautifully designed for unmatched light and brilliance. A stunning shape made to stand the test of time.

Emerald Cut
Clarity is the star of the show with emerald cuts, where every inclusion is on display. Quality cuts make emerald stand out, with the diamond reading more depth than brilliance.

Pear
A blend of the round brilliant and the marquise, the pear is a stunning teardrop silhouette with a single point that demands precise symmetry throughout the curve. Worn with a point toward the fingernail, the pear shape elongates the hand, making it a stunning choice for most hand shapes.

Cushion
Square or rectangle, it is the softened corners that make a cushion diamond unique. Identifiable for its pillow-like appearance, the cushion diamond is a romantic choice that can be customized for vintage flair or modern appeal.

Princess
The Princess cut is presented nearly as nature grew it. Cut from half an octahedron, the Princess cut is distinctive for its preservation of a diamond’s rough crystal. It’s a crisp and contemporary choice sure to offer a wow factor.

Asscher
Squares and octagons collide to create a stunning hall-of-mirrors effect and a visible “X” in the unique Asscher cut. Popular in the 1920s deco era, the Asscher shape performs best in higher clarity grades with a strong, clean cut.
