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.
Diamonds are cut in many different and exciting shapes. The shape of a diamond is often confused with its cut. Shape refers to the basic form of the diamond: round, emerald, oval or pear shaped, for example. Cut or proportions refer to the ability of each of these diamond shapes to reflect light.val shape diamonds are also popular because their length can help create the appearance of long, slender fingers. With Oval shape diamonds avoid what is called a Bow Tie effect, a very noticeable darkened area in the shape of a bow tie towards the middle of the Oval cut diamond.
