Fancy Shape Earrings

Fancy Shape Lab Grown Diamond Earrings in New Zealand

Diamond shape gives a pair of earrings its character. From soft curves to defined corners and elongated outlines, fancy shapes offer different ways to express your personal style.

Explore Nura Lab’s fancy shape lab grown diamond earrings for an alternative to traditional round diamonds, whether you are choosing an everyday pair, celebrating a milestone or finding a meaningful gift.

What Are Fancy Shape Diamonds?

“Fancy shape” describes diamond shapes other than round. These include oval, pear, marquise, emerald, radiant, cushion, princess, Asscher and heart.

Each has its own proportions and visual character. Oval diamonds have a rounded, elongated outline, while pear shapes combine a curved end with a pointed tip. Emerald shapes offer a rectangular outline with cropped corners, and marquise diamonds have a slender silhouette with pointed ends.

Find a Shape and Setting You Love

Consider the diamond’s outline alongside the setting that holds it. A simple solitaire design draws attention to the individual stone, while a halo adds a surrounding frame of smaller diamonds. A bezel follows the stone’s edge with a metal rim.

Explore our solitaire earrings, halo earrings and bezel earrings to compare these setting styles.

Orientation also influences the finished appearance. An elongated diamond set vertically creates a different silhouette from the same shape set horizontally. Check the product photographs to see how each design sits.

Compare Dimensions Alongside Carat Weight

Diamonds of the same carat weight can have different lengths, widths and visible proportions. When choosing fancy shape earrings, review the diamond measurements and overall earring dimensions alongside the stated weight.

For designs combining different stone shapes, explore our Toi et Moi earrings. If you prefer a longer silhouette, discover diamond drop earrings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does fancy shape mean?

Fancy shape refers to diamond shapes other than round. Examples include oval, pear, emerald, marquise, cushion, radiant, princess, Asscher and heart.

Are fancy shape diamonds the same as fancy coloured diamonds?

No. Fancy shape describes a diamond’s outline. Fancy colour describes its colour. A fancy shape diamond can be colourless, near-colourless or coloured; check the individual product specifications.

Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties as natural diamonds. They are created in a controlled environment rather than formed underground.

Do different diamond shapes look the same size at the same carat weight?

No. Carat measures weight rather than visible size. Different shapes and proportions distribute that weight differently, so compare the length and width measurements when judging how large the earrings will look.

What is the difference between diamond shape and cut?

Shape describes the outline, such as oval or pear. Cut describes how the diamond’s facets and proportions are fashioned, which influences how it interacts with light. Product names sometimes use “cut” as part of a familiar shape name, such as emerald cut.

Can fancy shape earrings also belong to other earring collections?

Yes. Shape and setting describe different features. For example, an oval diamond stud can be both a fancy shape earring and a solitaire, while an emerald-shaped diamond surrounded by smaller stones can also be a halo design.

How should I care for fancy shape diamond earrings?

For diamond and gold styles, clean gently with warm water, mild dishwashing liquid and a soft brush. Rinse carefully and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Take care around pointed tips and corners, and have the settings and fastenings checked periodically.
