DeBeers quoted in 1947 “A diamond is forever”. Well it is
forever but what matters is the sentiment with which they are presented. For
many people, diamonds, even today are a onetime gift. Though industrialization has
turned the tables in common man’s favour, diamonds still happen to be a
cherished dream for many.
As it is known, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, no doubt
that its lustre can lure any woman into risking her finances to pocket one.
Diamonds were once believed to protect the owner from all kinds of mishaps as
said by grandmothers always and that for long time it was believed that this
divine crystal would lose its powers when it was altered from its natural
state. Though these are tales, but investment in diamonds now days can
certainly be a way the owner would be protected from much financial instability
due to the benefits of the returns.
From Rose cut to Swiss cut, princess to marquise, brilliant
to briolette or just as simple as the single cut, the beauty is definitely
worth the fortune spent. While cut is the most complex factor associated with a
diamond’s price, thanks to its clarity that it radiates brilliance.
The following are the most desired cuts in diamonds with

- Pear cut stands next with its lavish design loved my many women. The tapered point lines up perfectly with the apex consequently possessing the excellent brilliance due to the symmetry. This cut is most favored on rings due to its symmetry creating the delicate but elongating look.
- One of the rarer and unique choices, the cushion cut is still chosen next to best when it comes to preference.
