The trapezoid
 diamond engagement rings look more like a triangular 
shape but with an end 
cut off. The trapezoid 
cut diamond is primarily used for 
accent diamonds and can be 
brilliant or step 
cut.
The 
brilliant cut trapezoid appears with rectangular centerpiece 
diamonds having a 
princess or a radiant cut, especially. The trapezoids that are step-
cut are typically arranged as side 
stones with 
Asscher or even
 emerald cut serving as the 
center stone. The
 emerald cut, which is of rectangular 
shape, is perfect for trapezoid diamond rings that have step-cut side stones. This is because the emerald 
cut diamond mounted and the centerpiece 
stone is elongated enough for accommodating a small 
sized accent stone in between its 
cut sides.
Trapezoids can add to the 
diamond ring being versatile-
shaped side 
stones. 

Henceforth, 
diamond makers use the trapezoid 
cut style with several centerpiece 
diamond shapes including 
emerald. The trapeze 
diamonds used to be step-
cut traditionally, but in the recent past, the brilliant 
cut trapeze has become popular owing to the popularity of 
princess and radiant 
cut diamonds.
