Popular gemstone cuts include: round (classic), oval (elongates hand), marquise (appears larger), teardrop/pear (elegant and fluid), and princess (modern and sharp). Each shape gives a completely different visual feel and suits different styles and wearers.
Oval and marquise cuts appear larger than round cuts of the same carat due to elongated shape. Round is classic and versatile. Princess is modern. Teardrop lines are elegant and flatter the hand. Buyers can mix shapes to cover different preferences.
Round and oval suit ring center stones—versatile and safe. Marquise and teardrop suit pendants and earrings—more design-forward. Princess suits modern rings and bracelets. Small stones can be mixed in cluster or halo settings.
925 sterling silver settings: prong (classic, shows stone), bezel (secure, clean), pave (small stones). Different shapes suit different settings: oval bezel, marquise prong, princess bezel or channel.
