At Diamond Forest, a lab-grown diamond shape is more than a silhouette. It is the way a jewel first speaks - the softness of an oval, the stillness of an emerald, the warmth of a cushion, or the timeless light of a round brilliant. Choose the shape that feels closest to your moment, your style, and the story you want your jewelry to hold.
Diamond shape means the visible outline of a diamond when viewed from above - such as round, oval, cushion, pear, emerald, princess, marquise, Asscher, radiant, or heart.
Shape is different from cut. Shape is the form you see. Cut is the craftsmanship of the facets, proportions, symmetry, and polish that helps the diamond return light. Together, shape and cut create the final beauty of the stone.
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. Once cut and polished, they have the same optical, chemical, and physical properties as natural diamonds; the main difference is their origin.
They can be crafted into the same loved shapes as natural diamonds - from classic round brilliants to elegant ovals, romantic cushions, refined emeralds, and expressive hearts. At Diamond Forest, the shape becomes the bridge between nature-inspired design and modern creation.

|---|---|---|---|
| Round Brilliant | Prioritize cut quality, symmetry and polish. | Circular brilliant shape made to return strong light. | Timeless sparkle, classic jewelry, everyday elegance. |

| Marquise | Check symmetry, bow-tie effect and protected points. | Long, boat-like shape with pointed ends. | Dramatic, regal and larger looking on the hand. |
| Asscher | Choose square or elongated proportions based on the design. | Square or rectangular shape with cropped corners and brilliant faceting | A bright blend of emerald-like shape and round-like sparkle. |

| Heart | Symmetry matters; protect the point in the setting. | Brilliant shape with a top cleft and pointed bottom. | Romantic, symbolic and expressive. |
| Emerald | Choose clarity and color carefully; open facets reveal more. | Rectangular step-cut shape with cropped corners. | Quiet luxury, clean lines and a hall-of-mirrors effect. |
