A modern square cut with sharp corners and brilliant facets, a clean look for a geometric stud.

A rectangular step-cut with clean lines. Understated and elegant, well suited to a vintage-style drop.
A square or rectangular cut with rounded corners. Warm and vintage, a popular choice for a halo stud.
A teardrop shape that naturally points downward, one of the most classic silhouettes for a drop earring.
A football-shaped cut with pointed ends, elegant as a stud or dramatic as a dangling drop.
A rectangular cut with cropped corners and brilliant faceting, combining the shape of an emerald with the fire of a round.
A square step-cut with cropped corners and a hall-of-mirrors depth, a striking choice for a statement stud.
A sentimental shape best suited to a stud or small drop, where the outline still reads clearly at a smaller size.
A bold triangular cut, often used as an accent stone in a cluster or chandelier design.
A slim rectangular step-cut, typically set alongside round stones in a chandelier or hoop design.
Old mine, rose cut, hexagon, kite, shield, or fully custom shapes. Bring us anything and we'll source or cut it for your earrings.
