Because they offer more optical options, tablets, emerald cuts, hexagons, and squares are the geometric shapes of colored gemstones that are most in demand this year. A square sapphire with a crisp, brilliant cut or an Asscher cut sapphire with eight clear facets dazzle with greater refinement and are more reasonably priced than a typical princess-cut diamond. Simply said, this year's most popular gemstone designs contain sharp, clarity-enhancing elements, large, sculptural facets, and sculptural edges. The shapes below should be considered if you choose to purchase custom jewelry:
Hexagons
Modern consumers, particularly those interested in the shape of colored gemstones, are constantly seeking out unusual geometries and distinct facet architectures. Both are provided by hexagonal gemstones. The round-cut diamond facet structure is identical to that of brilliant-cut hexagonal jewels, which ensures superb light performance. The facet structure of step-cut hexagonal gemstones is similar to that of emerald-cut diamonds, where the clear, open facets produce a certain "hall of mirrors" look. This enhances the sense of depth and highlights the focal point.
Kite shapes
In the past year, the kite-shaped gemstone has become the most sought-after variety. Shield forms, commonly referred to as kite shapes, recently became extremely popular as a result of Dior's floral-inspired Dior Rose collection. This design was also used by Cartier's monochromatic high jewelry line to draw attention to the graphic accents on its pieces.
The majority of kite-shaped gemstones have elongated silhouettes or squat forms, and while the huge, horizontal facet in the center of the stone gives the illusion that the stone is larger than it actually is, the sleek form is far more wearable. A sharp edge is much more eye-catching than a pear- or traditional cushion-gentle cut's finish, and it also accentuates color blocking, especially in engagement rings with colored gemstones.
Emerald-cut
When it comes to colored gemstones like sapphires, reasonably priced emerald cuts frequently display imperfections that enhance the sapphire's color. Some sapphires have subtle transparency thanks to their tiny rutile needles. Emerald cuts are a fantastic shape for engagement rings if someone wants something traditional yet spectacular because they also work well with solitaire or pave settings.
Pear-shaped
If you choose a pear-shaped colored stone for your custom, non-diamond engagement ring—teal sapphire, ruby, or something else—make sure any flattened areas or bulges aren't too far out of symmetry so it has the width of a traditional round cut and the marquise-like sleek, curved wings that lengthen its silhouette.
