More than any other diamond quality, a diamond’s shape makes the most impact on its overall look. And the diamond shape a person chooses says a lot about their style and personality. Wondering what each diamond shape means about its wearer? Here are the unique meanings of each diamond shape.

Asscher: Antique Sophistication
