A hexagonal diamond is a distinctive choice for an engagement ring, and is sure to make a statement. A hexagonal diamond is a very non-traditional choice, and you can be sure that most will not have an engagement ring like it.

As well as being eye-catching, hexagonal diamonds are quite symbolic. The hexagon shape is found throughout nature, and is a symbol of harmony and balance. Honey bees use the hexagonal shape to create their honeycomb and in ice fractals, meaning the shape represents the potential for life.

When choosing a hexagonal diamond, there are a few elements that should be considered. The cut can be made with several different facet structures, brilliant, step or rose cut which affect the final sparkle of the diamond.

Brilliant Cut Hexagon

A brilliant cut hexagon is cut similarly to the round brilliant diamond, only in a hexagonal shape. This type of hexagonal diamond has an unmatched sparkle, although they are quite rare.

Step Cut Hexagon

The step cut hexagon is the most common type of hexagonal diamond. Featuring long open facets arranged in a six-sided parallel design, this type of cut is known for it’s beguiling “hall of mirrors” effect.

Rose Cut Hexagon

The rose cut hexagon is a unique and rare shape for a diamond, and people love the vintage effect of the cut. The rose cut is an antique cut, so while it doesn’t have as much sparkle as the other cuts there’s a definite charm in the way this cut glows in the light. The advantage of a rose cut hexagon is that it makes the diamond appear larger than its carat weight because of its shallow structure.
