Gemstones are cut in many shapes for use in jewelry.
Different shapes are often cut in several different ways, such as
a rectangular shape being cut as a step cut (the classic Emeral
Cut) or in a brilliant cut (the Radiant Cut). Here are some of the
most common shapes used for diamonds and other popular gemstones
