What is a shield cut diamond?

1 Answer
What is a shield cut diamond?
Shield cut diamonds have a triangular shape with three sides bowed so the diamond sort of resembles a shield. They’re often used in rings as side accents to the center stone, so they rest a large side against the stone and then taper down the band.
