THE OTHER SIDE
UNIQUE DIAMOND SHAPES
When it comes to expressing individuality, nothing speaks louder than a diamond that breaks tradition.
This guide showcases a curated selection of unique and geometric diamond cuts — from the bold kite to the mysterious coffin. Whether you're drawn to minimalist symmetry or sculptural drama, these shapes offer a fresh perspective on fine jewelry design.
Explore their distinct forms, symbolic meanings, and the settings that bring them to life.
💫 Why Choose a Unique Shape?
Alternative shapes carry distinct meaning — from the shield’s protection to the kite’s ascension — making them ideal for self-expression or non-traditional love stories.
These cuts break away from mainstream aesthetics, allowing for unexpected elegance, bold modernism, or vintage-inspired sophistication.
Designers love the freedom these shapes offer — from Art Deco geometry to avant-garde layouts — unlocking unique compositions that can’t be achieved with traditional round cuts.
🔧 Compatibility With Settings
Bezel settings are perfect for protecting sharp edges while enhancing the clean lines of angular stones. Cathedral and east-west settings offer elegant framing and dynamic orientation.
These shapes often call for tailored mountings — custom prongs, asymmetrical layouts, or floating styles — making the final piece truly one-of-a-kind and maximizing visual impact.
