Commonly confused with cut, the shape of the diamond is its geometrical form whereas its cut is more specifically the angles and alignment of the diamond's facets and how they affect the sparkle and brilliance of the stone.
Unlike other essential details regarding a diamond's specifications, the shape is a matter of personal taste rather than an indication of quality. Rounds and princesses are generally speaking the most popular choices however "fancy shaped" diamonds may be the right choice for you depending on both your taste and the setting of the piece you are interested in.
