Sotiya® Stone Shapes
Different shapes of Sotiya® stone have significant differences in production and design. Here are some characteristics and distinctions of each shape.
Round stone is a very popular choice with a relatively simple manufacturing process, usually consisting of 58 facets, which can reflect light well and present a very beautiful luster. Round stone has excellent optical properties, as it can reflect and refract light to produce a very beautiful sparkling effect. Round stone is also easy to cut and polish, keeping its surface smooth to maximize its optical performance. Since the shape of a round stone is circular, the production process is very standardized and automated. This means that cutting and polishing can be done more easily, so our factory can produce high-quality round stones faster. We have a large inventory of round stones, so you can easily find the size, color, and carat weight of the round stone you want.
The production process of princess-cut stones is relatively complex, with up to 76 facets, which can present an extremely modern and unique style. Square-shaped stones are popular in jewelry because they have a modern and stylish appearance. The facets of these gems can make them look shiny. Square stones can be easily combined with other square or round gems to create attractive designs. This means that you have more choices when making jewelry. Since the facets of square stones are relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is relatively low. This also means that, compared to other shapes of stones, the price of square stones may be more affordable.
The heart shape is a rare shape that requires professional cutting and crafting to ensure its perfect appearance and optical performance. During the process of creating a heart-shaped stone, we pay special attention to symmetry, proportion, edges, and facets. Heart-shaped stone requires perfect symmetry on two axes, which requires experienced technicians to use high-precision tools for cutting and polishing. The proportion of heart-shaped stone is very important, and the correct balance between width and length is needed to ensure a beautiful appearance and good optical performance.
Pear-shaped stones have a pointed end and a rounded corner, making them ideal for making jewelry such as pendants and earrings. Because pear-shaped stones are relatively rare in the gemstone market, they can add uniqueness and a unique taste to your jewelry. They are suitable for various jewelry such as pendants, earrings, etc. Due to the special nature of their shape, pear-shaped stones often have a visually elongating effect on the fingers or neck when used in jewelry such as rings or necklaces, making one look more elegant and tall. Additionally, the pear shape of stones is relatively gentle, making it easy to combine with other shapes of gemstones to create attractive designs.
The production process of oval stone is relatively complex, requiring a balance of the proportions of multiple facets to present a soft and modern beauty that is unique to this gemstone cut. Its facet structure is particularly unique, featuring eight main facets and a large top platform, which allows the oval stone to reflect more light and color, showcasing its graceful appearance. The rectangular shape of the oval Stone is particularly suitable for high-end jewelry, as its shape and structure add a luxurious and majestic quality to the piece. It is ideal for cutting large gemstones as its facets and structure maximize the gemstone's volume, making it more beautiful and eye-catching.
Radiant-cut stone has unique facets and rounded edges, which can present a very sparkling appearance and excellent brilliance. The radiant shape combines the elegance of an emerald cut with the sparkle of a round brilliant cut. It features cropped corners and a rectangular shape, making it a unique and sophisticated choice. Radiant-cut stone is known for its exceptional brilliance and fire, and its radiant shape enhances these properties. The elongated shape and large table facets maximize the light dispersion, resulting in a stunning display of sparkle and color.
Cushion shape stones have a square shape with rounded corners, typically featuring four broader corners and rounded facets, thus presenting a soft and romantic beauty. Cushion-shaped gemstones have a distinct advantage over other shapes due to their rounded corners and large facets. The soft, rounded edges give the gemstone a timeless, classic appearance, while the large facets allow for maximum light reflection and brilliance. Additionally, cushion-shaped gemstones can easily be set in a variety of settings, making them a versatile choice for jewelry designs. The unique combination of elegance and versatility makes cushion-shaped gemstones a popular choice for engagement rings, earrings, pendants, and other types of jewelry.
Emerald-cut stones features a large surface area and rectangular shape, allowing them to exhibit a bright, clear, and transparent appearance. Compared to other shapes of stone, the rectangular and square Emerald cuts have the advantage of maximizing the gemstone's surface area and transparency, presenting a bright and transparent appearance. These shapes also give the Emerald cut a more noble and graceful look.
The Asscher cut is a vintage-inspired stone shape that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Having smaller facets and a deep pavilion, they can present an elegant appearance and exceptional brilliance. The Asscher shape is a square or rectangular shape with cropped corners and a step-cut faceting pattern. It has a distinctive, vintage-inspired look that sets it apart from other stone shapes. The step-cut faceting pattern of the Asscher cut highlights the stone's clarity and can make it appear larger and more brilliant than other stone shapes of the same carat weight. The Asscher cut has a timeless elegance that makes it a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry. Its vintage-inspired look is both classic and sophisticated, and it can complement a wide range of personal styles.
The marquise shape is a classic and elegant cut that has been popular for centuries. Marquise-shaped stone features a pointed end and two rounded corners, which make its unique shape perfect for crafting jewelry like rings. The marquise shape features pointed ends and an elongated shape that can make the stone appear larger than its carat weight. This makes it a great choice for those who want a bigger-looking gemstone without the higher price tag. The marquise shape is not as common as round or princess cuts, making it a unique and eye-catching choice for an engagement ring or other jewelry. Its distinctive shape and symmetry can also make it stand out in a crowd.
