Finding Your Sophia Jewelers Diamond 

Diamonds are found in some of the deepest and most ancient places within our world; and diamonds are no less engrained and rooted within a universal culture that appreciates their intrinsic qualities. Those components of a diamond, however, can at first intimidate someone who is unfamiliar with what distinguishes one diamond from another. 

At Sophia Jewelers, we pride ourselves in giving you a comprehensive understanding. We will walk you through the basics of a diamond: shape, cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. You can read each section in any order. Our diamond guide will let you determine what diamond you will choose for a purchase that truly endures a lifetime.

 Shape

Round Cut Diamond

Traditionally, this diamond is the one which rises most often in the minds of those searching for a classic diamond. Round, or circle in shape, its small cuts angle off the table to give a rainbow of color.

Studied and evolved from previous cuts since the Middle Ages, from the Point to Old European, the round brilliant is a cultural and visiual statement. Sophia Jewelers round brilliants are ideal cuts, to create brilliance and fire when seen from any angle.

With the numerous settings the diamond allows for placement – round cut diamonds are, and will likely remain, the most prolific, legendary diamond cut of them all.

 Princess Cut Diamond

Aside from the round brilliant, the princess cut is heralded as the other classic diamond cut for jewelry. Rising out of the 1960's in fashionable London, the princess cut is square in shape with crossing facets and chevrons when viewed from its peering into its table.

Sophia Jewelers ensures our princess diamonds to be exceptionally cut, and set to perfect light movement throughout our diamonds for a dynamic, brilliant square cut.

As one of the newest cuts of diamonds, the princess cut is popular for not only its unique radiance and fire, but for retaining one of the highest weights when cut from the original, rough stone. Your princess diamond, therefore, will be a full expression of beauty and sophistication.

 Emerald Cut Diamond

Named for the green gemstone, emerald cut diamonds share the rectangular cut and linear pavilion found within step cuts. With the largest table of all diamond cuts, emeralds can highlight a the geometry and luster of a stone.

Coming from the era of Art Deco, this antique inspired shape has become popular among enthusiasts for its distinct long, crisp angles or for those simply wanting a diamond that feels apart of an era of luxury and glamour.

Those seeking the kaleidoscope of colors offered in brilliant cuts should know that the emerald cuts strengths are not in fire, but in the clarity that can be seen across the surface of the diamond.
