Diamond Cutting

Diamonds are cut using different techniques before they arrive in stores for sale.

Diamond cutting became more advanced in the 19th Century, and this was right before the old European cut became more popular. With the advancements that came later, techniques started being used to modify the proportion and placement of facets.

It is true that diamonds can be made out in a wide range of styles, such as the one on your 1-carat bezel set diamond ring. With diamond cutting technology has advanced as much as it has, cutters are now able to improve the light return of the stone, and also tinker around for new shapes.
