10 Stone Shapes That Are Always in Style
Gemstones come in many shapes and sizes, but some shapes are more popular than others. Here we take a look at 5 stone shapes that are always in style, as well as some of our picks for pieces that have those shapes.
1.) Round
The round gemstone is the most popular shape and is often used in engagement rings and other pieces of jewelry. Round gems are said to be the most balanced and symmetrical, making them a symbol of perfection.
2.) Oval
Oval-shaped gems are similar to round gems but have more of an elongated shape. They are often used in pendants and earrings and are said to be symbols of elegance and grace.
Our choice: The 14K Gold Diamond Under Halo With 2 Carat Oval Shape Forever One Moissanite Engagement Ring is a beautiful example of an oval-shaped gemstone.
3.) Square
Square gems are extremely popular in men's jewelry, as they are seen as a symbol of strength and power. They are also often used in rings, as they provide a more masculine look than other shapes.
4.) Pear
The pear-shaped gem is similar to the oval but has a more pointed end. They are often used in necklaces and earrings and are said to be symbols of love and prosperity.
Our choice: The Perfect Crown Pear Band takes a pear-shaped stone and accentuates the point with an array of round diamonds surrounding the band.
5.) Cushion
The cushion-shaped gem is a mix of round and square shapes. They are often used in rings and pendants and are said to be symbols of comfort and security.
