Round Cut

The round cut, as the name implies, are circular when viewed from above. Round cuts are more often used with small stones as this shape results in the greatest amount of lost material compared to other stones. However, the circular nature also means that the stone is somewhat more durable than other cuts, such as emerald cut stones, or trilliants?.

The circle is unending in nature. By extension, the round cut is often found to symbolize emotions such as friendship, family, and love. Round cuts are commonly used with earrings or as accents in rings, though larger stones are sometimes also used as the focalpoint in the same.
