Hexagon Diamonds: A Unique Choice for Engagement Rings
When it comes to choosing an engagement ring, many of the couples who come to us are looking for something that stands out from traditional shapes. A hexagon diamond is a striking and contemporary option that we love to explore. With its bold geometric shape and modern aesthetic, hexagon diamonds are a favorite among those who appreciate unique and unconventional designs.
What is a Hexagon Diamond?
A hexagon diamond is a diamond that has been cut into a six-sided geometric shape. Hexagon diamonds can be symmetrical or elongated.
We often see rose-cut hexagons for salt + pepper diamonds. In more traditional white diamonds, we usually see them with step-cut faceting (like an emerald-cut diamond). A truly rare find is a duchess cut. Duchess cuts are an elongated hexagon with brilliant-cut faceting. This vintage style cut is one of my favorites due to its brilliant sparkle!
Why Choose a Hexagon Diamond Engagement Ring?
Unique and Eye-Catching Design
The distinctive six-sided silhouette of a hexagon shape immediately draws attention. It’s perfect for individuals who love geometric and Art Deco-inspired styles.
Larger Appearance
Due to its elongated shape and larger surface area, a hexagon diamond can appear bigger than a round diamond of the same carat weight, offering great value for money.
Modern Yet Timeless
The hexagon shape provides a contemporary feel while also evoking vintage charm. Whether paired with a minimalist solitaire setting or an intricate halo design, this cut remains versatile and timeless.
Customizable and Versatile
These diamonds can be set in a variety of styles, including east-west, bezel, or in a classic solitaire. This makes them easy to customize to your personal style and lifestyle.
No matter the cut, hexagon diamonds offer a perfect balance of vintage charm and modern elegance, making it an excellent choice for your dream engagement ring.
Popular Settings for Hexagon Diamond Engagement Rings
Solitaire Setting
A simple solitaire setting allows the diamond to be the star of the show, highlighting its geometric beauty. We recommend a prong at each point for security and to protect the fragile points of your diamond from chipping.
Bezel Setting
A bezel setting is the most protective setting style. Encasing the diamond in metal accentuates the geometry of the stone and gives a sleek, modern and bold look.
Three-Stone Setting
Pairing a hexagon diamond with complementary side stones adds depth and character to the ring, creating a stunning and symbolic design. I love to combine hexagon diamonds with triangle or half-moon side stones.
Final Thoughts
A hexagon diamond engagement ring is an exceptional choice for those who want something different, stylish, and meaningful. With its unique shape, vintage-meets-modern appeal, and versatile setting options, this diamond cut is perfect for couples looking to break away from tradition while still embracing elegance. Whether you opt for a minimalist solitaire or a bold bezel-set design, a hexagon is sure to make a lasting impression.
