Uncurved

The cut displays a very sharp brilliance or fire if the diamond is cut to the correct depth allowing good scintillation. Generally cut with a 1:1 length to width ratio, with of course uncurved edges. This uncurved trilliant cut is usually used for accent gemstones, on either side of a main, larger stone of a ring.

Curved

This is a softer version of the uncurved version, with three soft points and curved sides. The length to width ratio should still be 1:1, keeping the gemstone proportioned. This cut is unusual, but can be found in pieces as a solitary gem or as an accent gem.
