We’re seeing a growing number of clients drawn to antique diamond cuts, and this will continue into 2025 and beyond. They’re an ideal choice for those who prefer natural diamonds but want to avoid new mining. There's something truly special about these stones—each one was hand-cut over a century ago and crafted to catch the glow of candlelight. It’s a romantic, unique quality, as no two antique diamonds are identical, making them unlike anything modern technology can produce.

While white diamonds remain timeless, alternative stones like sapphires, emeralds, and black onyx are making waves in 2025. Many clients are embracing these non-traditional options—they’re striking, enduring, and often come at a more accessible price point.

Ovals and rounds remain popular, but we’re seeing a rising interest in more distinctive center diamond shapes, especially marquise cuts. Traditionally associated with royalty, marquise diamonds feature elegant, pointed ends that create the illusion of a larger stone. Unlike rounds, each marquise cut has its own unique character in terms of proportions and length-to-width ratio, making sourcing them feel like a true treasure hunt. They’re also incredibly versatile—whether set north-south or east-west, marquise diamonds look stunning in both prong and bezel settings. Another unique cut to keep on your radar going into 2025: trapezoids!
