How a Diamond is Formed. In order for diamond to form there must be an available source of carbon and relatively narrow ranges of temperates and pressures must align. This happens around 100 miles below the crust. Once crystalized the diamonds must be rapidly transported to the surface without undergoing substantial change.
There are 10 basic diamond shapes to choose from: round, princess, emerald, Asscher, cushion, radiant, pear, oval, marquise and heart. Read on to find out more about each shapeâand which one fits your or your fiance's personality the best! And note, the term diamond cut does not refer to its shape. While you must cut a diamond to make a shape, the shape is essentially the overall geometry or form of the diamond (round, square and so on), while the cut is the diamond's facets and proportionsâthe things that give diamonds their brilliance and fire.
