Explore diamond shapes
Diamond shapes refer to the diamond’s physical form and are usually their most distinguishable feature. Often chosen based on personal style, a diamond shape is a symbol of self-expression.
VRAI engagement rings highlight ten timelessly elegant diamond shapes. Fine jewelry designs feature fifteen different diamond shapes, eight of which are Iconic Shapes — uniquely-shaped diamonds that are an unprecedented expression of craftsmanship.

Real Diamonds vs Simulated Diamonds
Moissanite vs. Diamonds
To the untrained eye, moissanite looks like diamond. But the chemical composition of moissanite is inferior to diamonds. Diamonds are made of carbon and graded according to the 4Cs. Moissanite is a diamond simulant that is graded differently and of lesser value.
Cubic zirconia vs Diamonds
Cubic zirconia is made from zirconium dioxide and looks similar to a diamond at first glance. But the chemical composition and value of cubic zirconia are inferior to diamonds. Cubic zirconia always has been and always will be synthetic.

Lab-Grown Diamonds vs Mined Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds, such as VRAI created diamonds, share the same optical, physical, and chemical properties as mined diamonds.
The only difference is a lab-grown diamond’s origin. They are made by replicating the way diamonds are made in nature without the negative environmental or human toll of mining.

What are Diamond 4Cs?
The 4Cs refer to a diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. These four factors determine a diamond’s overall appearance as well as its value.
Understanding the 4Cs will help you choose the right diamond. Color is often influenced by the metal and design a diamond is set in. Clarity becomes more important based on your choice of diamond shape.
