Engagement rings with various diamond shapes

Diamond shape is not one of the 4Cs of diamonds, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. The shape of a diamond influences its brilliance, its color, its style, and even its price.

So, what is diamond shape? For diamonds, shape refers to the outline of the stone when viewed from a top-down perspective. Popular diamond shapes include round, pear, emerald, oval, and even heart. At Blue Nile, we offer diamonds in these and many other popular shapes.

Diamonds can add beauty and personality to engagement rings and other fine jewelry pieces, with specific shapes showcasing different styles. Take our diamond shape finder quiz to find the perfect diamond shape for your personality.
