There are a few standard 'shapes' into which diamond stones are fashioned, including those named round brilliant, emerald cut, princess cut and so forth. (See the Diamond Shapes link, below for a list of the most popular cuts.)

Large diamonds -- weighing more than about 20 carats -- are often cut to preserve the carat weight instead of being cut and polished to a standard format. These cuts are sometimes named, sometimes not.

You can review the diamond list, below, to see unusual cuts of large diamonds, together with some that are named.
