When choosing a piece of diamond jewellery, or even a diamond engagement ring, finding the perfect cut for you (or whoever you’re buying for) is essential. There are many things to consider when picking your diamond cut, but why not look to the stars for some guidance?
Read on to discover which different diamond cuts most suit each of the signs of the zodiac…
Passionate, motivated, and confident – those with Aries as a star sign are natural-born leaders who don’t follow the crowd. For this reason, their perfect diamond cut should be as unique and as forward-thinking as they are. For the perfect diamond cut to suit an Aries, stray away from tradition and opt for a more unusual cut like the radiant cut diamond. The angular shape and clean lines of this cut make it stand out against the crowd.
Tauruses are most known for being caring and dependable – if a little bit stubborn! They like to surround themselves with beauty and serenity and have an affinity for more traditional fashions. For this reason, a classic Old European round cut diamond would be perfect for a Taurus. This is a timeless cut full of soft and elegant beauty – ideal for this star sign.
Anyone who knows a Gemini will know that people born under this star sign are outgoing and fiercely creative. They can also be pretty indecisive, which makes it difficult to choose one single diamond cut! When it comes to diamond rings, a multi-stone option is the best choice for a Gemini, and they’ll be most satisfied with a combination of different diamond cuts, or even a variety of gemstones.
Loyalty is the most prominent trait of anyone born under the Cancer star sign, so like with Taurus, it’s best to stick to a timeless and traditional diamond cut. Their gentle and soft personality is perfectly suited to a cushion cut diamond, which is sure to sparkle as much as they do.
Leos are famously confident and they never shy away from being the centre of attention. This luxury-loving sign would be best suited to a diamond cut that exudes glamour and is a little out of the ordinary. The stunning elongated marquise cut ticks all of these boxes.
The classic traits of those born under the Virgo star sign include unwavering patience, intelligence, and reliability. Virgos are also known for their hard-working attitude and the fact that they never back down from a challenge. All of these traits are perfectly suited to the gorgeous emerald cut. This angular diamond cut reflects the strength and determination of any Virgo.
Their idealistic nature means that the perfect diamond shape for a Libra is the glamourous princess cut. Just like typical Libras, this diamond cut is very popular and princess cut diamonds sparkle as much as any Libra’s bright and bubbly personality.
Determined, ambitious, but not one for the limelight, Scorpios are well-suited to a classic diamond cut that hasn’t always been the centre of attention. Oval cut diamonds are well-suited to this sign as their soft edges allude to the sensitivity of Scorpios, but their classic shape also represents the unwavering loyalty that Scorpios are known for.
The Ascher diamond cut is perfectly suited to anyone born under the Sagittarius star sign. This cut is unusual and fun, just like those who are born under this star sign who love to showcase their free and spontaneous side. People with this star sign are also thought to be particularly optimistic and they love to try new things.
This star sign is most known for being ambitious, yet Capricorns are also very realistic and practical. Striking pear cut diamonds are the perfect match – a sense of tradition with a slightly more unusual twist.
People born under the Aquarius star sign are known for being idealistic, intelligent and original. So, why stray from an original yet fabulous diamond cut? Round brilliant diamonds are stronger and more durable than any other diamond cut, making them a perfect fit for this particularly resilient star sign.
Finally, we have Pisces, one of the most romantic of all the star signs. This lovable star sign would be perfectly suited to a heart cut diamond. Those born under this star sign are beloved for their generosity and creativity.
Every diamond cut is beautiful in its own unique way. When you’re looking for your perfect match, take some inspiration from the stars and find a shape that really speaks to you and your personality.
