Diamond Cut Guide
A diamond's cut is as individual as you are - each different cut and shape is a work of art and no two are quite exactly alike.
In contrast to the classic round brilliant diamond, the specialty cuts combine the fiery play of light of their round counterparts with classic shapes like the pear shape, marquise, emerald and princess as well as the more modern silhouette of Gabrielle, just to name a few. As you view all of the different cuts available at Robbins Bros., some - like the stunning Echo diamond - are exclusive to our stores and you won't find them anywhere else.
Each unique cut of diamond measures up to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship you'd expect from the World's Biggest Engagement Ring Store.
But nothing compares to seeing a real diamond up close. Visit your nearest Robbins Bros. store today.
