Pie cut diamonds are an excellent choice when looking for an engagement ring. The pie cut diamond has gained popularity over the years due to the style and luxurious look the diamond gives the wearer. For an engagement ring, a pie cut diamond can help symbolize a couple's relationship. The following is a short guide to pie cut diamonds and their variety of styles.
What Are Pie Cut Diamonds?
A pie cut diamond is when several smaller diamonds are intricately pieced together to create a beautiful illusion of a solitaire diamond. The diamonds are specifically chosen and shaped to create a larger looking diamond. Pie-cut diamonds can come in a variety of shapes.
Types Of Pie Cut Diamonds
The following are some examples of pie-cut diamond designs:
- Asscher Or Cushion Cut: This pie cut shape has two options. The first is a cut with four diamond pieces. The second is more intricate with nine diamond settings. The stone is in the shape of a square with rounded edges.
