Shape guide
Choose the shape before the quote gets precise.
Shape changes the visual direction, measurement target, setting plan, and quote path. Use this guide to send Joey a clearer first message before NKGEM checks current lab-grown diamond options, certificate preference, metal, size, destination, timing, and final quote details.
Round
A classic direction for solitaire, side-stone, and simple custom rings. Send carat, color and clarity target, certificate preference, metal, and ring size so Joey can compare current round lab-grown diamond options.
Oval
Oval creates an elongated look. If you care about a slim or fuller outline, include target measurements or a reference ratio. Actual stone media should be checked before the final quote.
Emerald
Emerald cut gives a step-cut look with cleaner lines. It often needs a closer check of clarity, proportions, and setting direction because the visual style is different from round or oval.
Princess
Princess cut is a square direction for buyers who want sharper geometry. Tell Joey whether the setting needs corner protection, pave shoulders, or a low-profile design.
Cushion
Cushion can feel softer than princess while still giving a strong center-stone presence. Share whether you prefer a squarer or more elongated outline.
Radiant
Radiant is useful when a buyer likes a rectangular or square outline but wants a brighter visual direction than a step-cut look. Confirm ratio and setting style early.
Pear
Pear shape has a pointed end, so prong layout and orientation matter. Mention whether the point should face up, down, or follow a pendant or earring design.
Marquise
Marquise gives a long visual spread and needs careful setting planning at both ends. Send reference photos as taste direction only, not as an exact-copy request.
How shape affects a NKGEM quote
Shape does not work alone. Joey still needs the carat direction, color and clarity target, certificate preference, metal, ring size or jewelry length, setting direction, budget, destination, and deadline. For pairs, side stones, earrings, or matching sets, stone matching and layout also need confirmation.
What to send if you are not sure
If you only know the style feeling, send one or two references and say what you like: classic, elongated, square, step-cut, soft cushion, pear, or bold visual spread. NKGEM can narrow the quote path, but final options still depend on current lab-grown diamond availability and the actual order details.
Match the shape to the quote page
Ring buyers can start with lab-grown diamond rings. If the center stone is the main question, use the loose lab-grown diamond quote page. For earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, sample work, or small-batch directions, use the custom jewelry page.
