Marquis — This are also round but it looks longer than a round or oval cut diamond because the two ends are pointed.
Pear — this kind of shape is almost rounded at the top but the bottom is pointed. This type of cut doesn’t look very good in a single stone set into a ring. This kind of shape is recommended for other types of jewelry, such as necklaces or earrings.
