Cutting a rough diamond into the stones we see set on rings today takes a lot of work and precision. Even with modern cutting edge technology, it is still an exact science as there are many factors that need to be considered before the rough stone is cut.

Diamonds are cut into many shapes and sizes. There are what is collectively known as the old European gem cuts, patented signature design jewellery diamond cuts and the fancy gem cuts. The old European gem cuts were developed from the early 1300’s to the early 1900’s and include the single cut, rose & briolette, old European cut and the modern brilliant cut.

Patented signature cuts include the Asscher cut, the Barion, the Eternal cut, the Leo cut among others. These signature cuts were developed and patented by various companies. The Leo diamond cut was the first type of cut to be certified with respect to brilliance and fire by a Brillianscope. Most of these cuts were developed from the early 1900s up until recently. You can see these different cuts in a diamond rings catalogue.

Diamonds are usually cut based on practical reasons. When the rough crystal is asymmetrical, the fancy gem cuts are sometimes used. The objective is to produce as many diamonds showcasing the best attributes of the stone at the same time eliminating flaws and other imperfections.

Some of these cuts include the Princess Cut, Baguette and Marquise. To see what these cuts look like, you can consult Manuel Spinosa diamond rings catalogue and find the best cut of diamond you want for the engagement ring.
