Round Cut Diamonds
242 certified round cut diamonds available
The round brilliant is the most researched shape in diamond cutting: 57 to 58 facets engineered over a century to return the maximum possible light to the eye. That optical engineering is why rounds account for roughly two-thirds of all engagement ring center stones — and why they command a premium over every other shape.
Because brilliance hides imperfections, a well-cut round lets you relax color and clarity grades without a visible difference: many buyers find their sweet spot at G–H color and VS2–SI1 clarity, spending the savings on cut quality or carat weight instead.

Why are round diamonds more expensive than other shapes?+
Cutting a round brilliant wastes more of the rough crystal than any other shape — often 60% — and demand is the highest of any shape. Expect to pay 15–30% more than a comparable oval or cushion.
What cut grade should I choose for a round diamond?+
Cut is the most important C for rounds. Stay at Excellent or Ideal; the sparkle difference against a Good cut is visible across a room, while a one-step color difference usually is not.
Do round diamonds look bigger than other shapes?+
Per carat, rounds have a smaller face-up area than elongated shapes like ovals or pears — but their brilliance makes them read larger than their measurements suggest.
