The term peach cut diamond is a misnomer. There is no diamond shaped piece of fruit baked into a cake, nor is there a diamond shape in the color wheel.
The term peach cut refers to the shape of the diamond-shaped spot on a stone. It can be round, princess cut, or oval.
An oval stone can look like a piece of salad or an apple pie. A princess cut has smaller diamonds on top and an oval on the bottom.
The term round diamond was once used to refer to both peach cut and round diamonds, but now only refers to either an oval or princess cut. Today, most retailers use only one term for these shapes.
As with other shapes, buying your stone wide at one time of the year is better than latterly when they are in season.

Deep cuts
When a person refers to a cut as deep cut, what they are referring to is a deeper cut. A deep cut is seen as more extreme cut.
When someone says that a woman has long hair, but her hair is shorter in length, it does not mean that her hair is not long. It just means that her hair is longer in style.
The length of the style of someone’s hair represents how much time they have in which to fashion it into what they want it to be. When people have long hair, they often use more time in which to style it.
Some times people get frustrated with the length of their hair and want a short hairstyle, so there are times where someone with very long hair gets a short hairstyle. Depending on where you look, you can find many people with short hairstyles.
Rose cuts
A rose cut is one of the most popular styles for men. This look can be had in many guises, some more stylish than others. The most visible difference between arose cuts and no-rose cuts is in the length of the beard.
No-rose beards are usually shorter and thicker, meaning that they require a longer haircut to achieve a classic look. Rosetheads are usually shorter and thinner, meaning that they require a longer haircut to achieve a classic look.
A no-go area is the area around the nose and mouth, where someone with an alarmingly large nose or overlong mouth must not go. A rose-cut is one of these areas, as the alarmingly large nose or overlong mouth is kept within the same area as the rest of the face.
Pear cuts
A soft, blushed shade of pink or blush is the classic color for a diamond. While most people assume a pear cut is a round, slightly longer diamond that is square on the front and flank, it is not.
A diamond with a pear cut has an elongated oval-shaped front face and flank. The rear face is square with a thin back. This type of diamond looks more like an apple orchard shape stone with the rounded front and square back.
The Pearson hardness scale ranges from I to IV, with I being the softest and IV being the hardest. A hardness of III will mean that you do not need to be extremely careful when storing your diamond. If you need to protect it from solvents or chemicals, then a IV stone will work fine.
The main difference between a curtain cut diamonds and a pearly cut diamonds is the shape of the wedge. The wedge in a round-cut diamond is long and rectangular on the end, making it look like an oval-shaped stone with blushed skin.
Marquise cuts
Another diamond shape is the marquise. This diamond shape is described as slightly rectangular with a rounded tip.
Marquise diamonds have a slight difference in each end. The pointed end is called a tapering segment and the rest of the diamond is called the remainder.
The tapering segment is usually considered a better value of diamond than the remainder due to its slight difference in look. Because of this, more rare and valuable diamonds have a tapering segment rather than no difference at all.
This variation can make a big difference in how you use your diamond. If you wanted to create an opening just for it, for example, you would need a slightly wider stone. You could also use it in A/A cuts or with strong pressure on the engagement ring.
Rounds cuts
A greater rarity of diamond shapes are rounded and straighening cuts. These shapes can vary in depth and width, making them beautiful and interesting diamonds.
Rounded cut diamonds have a rounded top and bottom. This type of diamond has a slightly soft look to it, making it excellent quality. It is also the easiest shape to work with due to its roundness.
Straight-cornered diamonds have a sharp point at one end and no other end. This type of diamond cannot be variegated or shaped, making it one of the hardest types of diamonds on earth.
Creating a space in the center of a round-cornered diamond is the most difficult task that must be mastered by an artist.
Cushion cuts
A cushion cut is a shorter, softer cut. The length comes from having the hair lay longer on the head. Additionally, the cut asks for longer hair and/or a thicker head shape.
The shorter, softer cut of the hair requests a larger head shape. When the hair is shorter, it has more space to move in as it grows. This can lead to a taller, more noticeable person.
Sometimes a short cushion cut can be hard to manage due to having so many different lengths of hair. A quick tip is to wet your hair before attempting to complete any hairstyles with it. It will also take more time to dry off after adding water to it, which then causes some floatation.
Cushion cuts are popular for people looking for something longer or with a softer look.
Heart shapes cut
Another great way to experiment is with helical cut diamonds. A helical cut is a shape that is created when a stone is rotated on the tool used to create a heart shape or other shapes.
These heart shaped diamonds are typically round or oval in shape. When creating a ring with a helical cut, you must use a thick piece of metal to secure the stone in place. This must be done very, very carefully as the stone can come out if too securely stuck in place.
However, by using a correctly sized piece of metal and being extremely careful with the cutting process, you can create an effective ring that looks like a heart or another shape.
Another fantastic way to experiment is by finding some solitaire diamonds. These are non-crystalline diamonds that are defined by features such as satin finish or grain shine.
Asscher cuts
Asscher cuts are a popular style today. They are named after the color Asscher, which is a dark brown with diamond accents.
The term cut-back refers to when the diamond length is decreased across the width of the diamond. This is typically done to increase visibility, add a signature feature, or decrease price.
It is not that people are looking for cut-backs in popularity, but rather more contemporary styles that are more popular now. More specifically, more recent styles that are more classic.
There are many ways to wear a cut-back diamond. You can have a round brilliantine cut-back at an angle, have an accent stone removed and stepped up with a pavé setting, or have a natural edge set and allowed to wear away with time.
