Discover the Exquisite Shapes and Cuts of Desert Diamonds Jewelry
At Desert Diamonds Jewelry, we offer an extensive array of diamond shapes to match every style preferenceβfrom the timeless brilliance of classic round cuts to the unique charm of beloved heart shapes. Each Desert Diamond is crafted to tell its own story through a variety of meticulously designed shapes and sizes.
Understanding diamond cut is key to appreciating our stonesβ brilliance. While βcutβ often describes a diamondβs shape, such as round or princess, it also refers to the precision of the stoneβs polish and finish. This quality directly impacts the diamondβs light performance, affecting its sparkle, fire, and overall allure.
Our stones are expertly crafted by skilled diamond cutters who employ the same techniques used on natural diamonds. Hand-polished with diamond powder, each Desert Diamond achieves an exceptional cut that maximizes luster, durability, and longevity.

Understanding Carat Size and Weight in Desert Diamonds Jewelry
Carat is the standard measurement for gemstone weight, but itβs important to note that Desert Diamonds simulants differ from natural diamonds due to their unique chemical composition. Our diamond simulants are denser, meaning they are approximately 1.7 times the weight of an equivalent-sized natural diamond, or about 75% heavier. This results in a 1-carat diamond simulant appearing slightly smaller than a 1-carat natural diamond. For example, a 2-carat brilliant Desert Diamonds simulant is visually similar in size to a 1.25-carat natural diamond.
To accurately gauge the visual size of our diamond simulants compared to natural diamonds, we recommend referencing their dimensions in millimeters rather than carat weight alone. For instance, a 1.75-carat round brilliant Desert Diamond simulant has a diameter of 6.5mm, matching the appearance of a 1-carat natural diamond. Note that slight variations may occur based on the stoneβs specific cut.
Refer to the chart below for a detailed comparison of shapes, weights, and sizes to help you select the perfect Desert Diamond for your style.
