The diamond industry has witnessed a remarkable shift toward unique geometric shapes that challenge traditional aesthetics while delivering extraordinary visual impact. Among these innovative cuts, the natural hexagon cut diamond has emerged as a sophisticated choice for designers and consumers seeking distinctive character in their jewellery pieces. At Dharam Export, we’ve dedicated ourselves to mastering the intricate art of hexagon diamond cutting, offering jewellery manufacturers and designers an unparalleled selection of calibrated hexagonal diamonds that transform creative visions into tangible masterpieces.

What Is A Hexagon Diamond?

A hexagon diamond is precisely what its name suggests: a six-sided diamond shaped like a hexagon. However, unlike the perfectly symmetrical hexagons found in geometry textbooks or nature’s honeycombs, hexagon diamonds offer remarkable variety in their proportions. These stunning stones range from perfectly balanced shapes with equal sides to elongated rectangular-hexagons, squat variations, and every iteration between. The only constant defining feature remains its six distinctive sides.

This geometric flexibility makes hexagonal diamond shapes incredibly versatile for jewellery design. Whether you envision a perfectly symmetrical center stone or prefer an elongated silhouette that flatters the finger, hexagon cut diamonds adapt beautifully to diverse aesthetic preferences.

Why Hexagon Diamonds Are Gaining Popularity

The rising demand for natural hexagon diamonds stems from their ability to deliver something truly unique in an increasingly competitive jewellery market. These rare shapes represent less than 1% of all diamond cuts, making them genuine unicorns in the diamond world. Their scarcity isn’t just about lower demand—crafting perfect hexagon cut diamonds requires exceptional skill, precision, and understanding of crystalline structure that only master cutters possess.

For jewellery brands, hexagon diamond shapes provide a distinctive design signature that customers instantly recognize. The geometric nature of these stones creates visual interest that distinguishes pieces in crowded retail environments while offering consumers something genuinely different from standard round or princess cuts.

Beyond rarity, hexagon brilliant cut diamonds serve as design chameleons. Depending on faceting style and setting choice, these stones can evoke art deco glamour, modern minimalism, romantic vintage aesthetics, or contemporary edginess. This versatility makes them invaluable for jewellers serving diverse customer bases.

The Four Types of Hexagon Diamond Cuts

At Dharam Export, we understand that different projects require different faceting approaches. That’s why we specialize in manufacturing all four distinctive hexagon diamond cutting styles, each offering unique optical characteristics and aesthetic appeal:

1. Step Cut Hexagon Diamonds

Step cut hexagonal diamonds feature long, wide facets arranged in a cascading pattern that creates gradually diminishing concentric hexagons—reminiscent of Russian nesting dolls. Similar to emerald cuts or Asscher cuts, step cut hexagons produce hypnotic flashes of light rather than continuous sparkle.

This cutting style emphasizes clarity and transparency, making it ideal for high-quality stones where you want to showcase the diamond’s inherent purity. The large, open facets create a sophisticated, elegant appearance that works beautifully in vintage-inspired designs and art deco jewellery. Step cut hexagon diamonds are among our most requested variations, particularly for designers creating heirloom-quality pieces.

Best Applications: Engagement ring center stones, vintage-style earrings, art deco-inspired designs, sophisticated statement pieces

2. Brilliant Cut Hexagon Diamonds

For maximum light performance and continuous sparkle, brilliant cut hexagon diamonds reign supreme. This faceting style incorporates multiple smaller facets strategically positioned to optimize light reflection and refraction, creating spectacular brilliance that rivals traditional round brilliant diamonds.

Crafting hexagon brilliant cut diamonds demands exceptional technical skill. Unlike step cuts, brilliant faceting on geometric shapes requires precise calculations to ensure proper light return from all six sides. At Dharam Export, our master cutters have perfected this complex technique, delivering fancy hexagon cut diamonds that sparkle from every viewing angle.

The brilliant cut style is more forgiving of minor inclusions, as the numerous facets effectively mask imperfections that might be visible in step-cut stones. This makes brilliant cut hexagons an excellent choice when balancing quality with budget considerations.

Best Applications: Engagement rings requiring maximum sparkle, contemporary jewellery designs, halo settings, pieces needing strong light performance

3. Rose Cut Hexagon Diamonds

Rose cut hexagon diamonds offer a distinctively romantic aesthetic that’s experiencing renewed popularity. Characterized by a flat base and domed top with large triangular facets, rose cuts produce soft, subtle sparkle rather than intense brilliance. Originally designed to glow beautifully by candlelight, these antique-inspired cuts deliver vintage charm with modern appeal.

The absence of a pavilion (pointed bottom) means rose cut hexagonal diamonds appear noticeably larger for their carat weight compared to brilliant or step cuts. This visual advantage makes rose cuts particularly attractive for budget-conscious projects where you want impressive size without increased cost.

Rose cut hexagons work exceptionally well in bezel settings and low-profile designs. Their transparency and soft light play create an intimate, understated elegance that appeals to customers seeking something beyond conventional brilliance.

Best Applications: Vintage-style engagement rings, delicate stacking rings, bohemian jewellery, pieces requiring low-profile settings

4. Portrait Cut Hexagon Diamonds

The rarest of our hexagon offerings, portrait cut diamonds are crafted to resemble crystal-clear panes of glass. These ultra-thin diamonds prioritize visual transparency over sparkle, creating striking artistic statements that demand exceptional clarity.

Unlike other cuts designed primarily for light performance, portrait cut hexagons focus on creating an uninterrupted view through the stone. They’re conversation starters—distinctive, unconventional, and bold. While they don’t scintillate like brilliant or step cuts, portrait cuts make powerful design statements in contemporary jewellery.

These diamonds require the highest clarity grades (IF to VVS) to achieve their signature “clear window” aesthetic. Any inclusions become immediately apparent in portrait cuts, making stone selection critical.

Best Applications: Modern art jewellery, statement pendants, contemporary designer pieces, fashion-forward cocktail rings

Understanding Hexagon Diamond Proportions

While hexagon diamonds offer remarkable design freedom, understanding proportions helps optimize aesthetic appeal:

Symmetrical Hexagons (1:1 Ratio)

A 1:1 length-to-width ratio creates perfectly balanced hexagons with equal sides. This symmetrical configuration delivers visual harmony that appeals to customers appreciating geometric precision and order. Symmetrical hexagon cut diamonds work beautifully in cluster settings, geometric patterns, and designs emphasizing balance.

Elongated Hexagons (1.2:1 to 1.5:1 Ratio)

Elongated hexagonal diamond shapes create graceful, finger-flattering silhouettes ideal for engagement rings. These proportions maximize visual length on the finger while maintaining the distinctive hexagonal character. Elongated versions often appear larger than their carat weight suggests, making them popular for maximizing visual impact within budget constraints.

Our calibration process ensures consistent proportions across matched sets, essential for creating symmetrical earrings, matching wedding sets, or pavé patterns requiring uniform dimensions.

Choosing Quality in Hexagon Diamonds: The 4Cs Guide

Cut Quality: The Foundation of Beauty

Cut quality determines how effectively your hexagon diamond performs optically. Well-cut hexagon brilliant cut diamonds exhibit exceptional symmetry, precise facet alignment, and optimal proportions that maximize light return. Look for stones with “very good” or “excellent” symmetry grades.

Symmetry becomes especially critical in geometric shapes like hexagons, where irregularities are more apparent than in organic shapes. Each of our calibrated hexagon cut diamonds undergoes rigorous symmetry assessment before approval.

Clarity Considerations by Cut Type

Clarity requirements vary dramatically based on faceting style:

Brilliant Cut Hexagons: Most forgiving. VS2 to SI1 clarity grades typically appear eye-clean, offering excellent value.

Rose Cut Hexagons: Moderately forgiving. VS1 to VS2 grades recommended for eye-clean appearance.

Step Cut Hexagons: Least forgiving. VVS2 to VS1 grades recommended minimum. The large, open facets expose inclusions easily.

Portrait Cut Hexagons: Most demanding. IF to VVS1 grades are essential for maintaining the “clear glass” aesthetic.

Color Selection Strategy

Cutting style also influences color perception:

Brilliant Cut: Multiple facets disperse color, allowing lower color grades (G-H) while maintaining white appearance.

Step Cut: Large facets reveal color differences. D-F grades recommended for colorless appearance.

Rose Cut: Domed structure and romantic aesthetic complement warmer tones. G-H grades enhance vintage and art deco appeal.

Portrait Cut: Thin profile reveals true color. D-F grades necessary for colorless transparency, with IF/VVS clarity

Carat Weight Optimization

Hexagon diamonds offer inherent carat weight advantages. Their geometric shape maximizes surface area relative to depth, making them appear larger than round brilliants of equivalent weight. This characteristic, particularly pronounced in rose cut hexagons, allows you to achieve impressive visual size without proportional cost increases.

For engagement rings, consider finger size when selecting carat weight. Larger hands can carry substantial stones beautifully, while petite fingers may prefer more delicate proportions to maintain balance.

The Versatility of Hexagon Diamond Ring Designs

Engagement Ring Applications

Hexagon diamond engagement rings have captivated couples seeking distinctive alternatives to traditional styles. The geometric shape signals sophistication and individuality while maintaining timeless elegance. Whether set in minimalist solitaire mountings or elaborate vintage-inspired designs, hexagon cut diamonds create unforgettable engagement rings.

Solitaire Settings: Clean, modern presentations that emphasize the stone’s geometric beauty

Halo Designs: Surrounding the hexagon with round or matching hexagonal melee creates dramatic contrast

Bezel Settings: Perfect for rose cut hexagons, offering sleek protection and contemporary aesthetics

Vintage Mountings: Step cut hexagons shine in art deco settings with milgrain details and geometric side stones

Cluster Settings: Multiple hexagons create honeycomb patterns with exceptional visual impact

Beyond Engagement Rings

The versatility of hexagonal diamond shapes extends throughout jewellery categories:

Stud Earrings: Matched pairs in brilliant or rose cut deliver everyday sophistication

Drop Earrings: Elongated hexagons create elegant dangles with geometric interest

Pendants: Portrait cut hexagons make bold statement necklaces

Wedding Bands: Calibrated hexagon melee create distinctive eternity or anniversary bands

Cocktail Rings: Large hexagon centers surrounded by complementary shapes command attention

Calibrated Hexagon Diamonds: The Manufacturing Advantage

Calibration represents one of Dharam Export’s core competencies. Our precision cutting ensures multiple stones maintain exact dimensional consistency—essential for numerous jewellery applications:

Pavé Work: Uniform hexagons create seamless patterns without gaps or irregularities

Matching Pairs: Earrings, cufflinks, and symmetrical designs require perfect calibration

Production Runs: Manufacturers creating jewelry lines need reliable consistency across batches

Channel Settings: Calibrated stones fit precisely in channels without adjustment

Cluster Designs: Multiple stones create cohesive patterns when dimensions match perfectly

This precision eliminates the frustration of size inconsistencies that plague jewellery production, reducing manufacturing time and costs while ensuring superior finished products.

The Ethical Distinction: Natural vs. Synthetic

In an era where transparency matters increasingly to conscious consumers, Dharam Export’s commitment to natural hexagon diamonds provides meaningful differentiation. Every natural diamond in our collection comes from responsible sources, reflecting our dedication to ethical practices and sustainable supply chains.

Natural diamonds carry inherent romance—each stone represents millions of years of geological formation, making it genuinely one-of-a-kind. This authenticity resonates deeply with customers seeking meaningful jewellery investments with both intrinsic and emotional value.

Unlike laboratory-created alternatives, natural hexagon cut diamonds maintain long-term value appreciation and carry the irreplaceable story of Earth’s natural processes. For jewellers serving discerning clientele who value authenticity, our natural diamond commitment provides a compelling selling point.

The Symbolism Behind Hexagon Engagement Rings

Beyond aesthetics, hexagons carry powerful symbolism across cultures. The shape represents balance, harmony, and the integration of masculine and feminine energies. As relationship symbols, hexagon engagement rings beautifully denote the balance between two people – two energies and two lives that gain strength from both similarities and differences.

This meaningful symbolism adds depth to hexagon diamond rings, transforming them from simply unique choices into thoughtful representations of partnership and commitment.

The Hexagon Advantage in Competitive Markets

For jewellery brands, hexagonal diamond shapes provide strategic advantages beyond aesthetic appeal. The distinctive geometric shape helps products stand out in crowded marketplaces, creating recognizable brand signatures that foster customer loyalty and repeat purchases.

The hexagon’s geometric nature maximizes apparent size, making stones appear larger than round diamonds of equivalent carat weight – a valuable selling point for value-conscious consumers. Additionally, because hexagon cuts remain relatively rare, they command attention and spark conversations, generating organic word-of-mouth marketing for jewellery brands.

Technical Considerations for Setters

When working with hexagon cut diamonds, stone setters should consider:

Prong Placement: Six sides allow various prong configurations. Four-prong settings at corners create star patterns, while six-prong settings follow the natural shape.

Bezel Options: Full bezels work beautifully with all hexagon types. Partial bezels can emphasize specific orientations.

Orientation: Hexagons can be set point-up (appearing elongated) or flat-side-up (appearing wider). Consider the overall design balance.

Support: Step cut and portrait cut hexagons benefit from additional support due to their large table facets.

Care and Maintenance of Hexagon Diamond Jewellery

Hexagon diamonds require standard diamond care with minor considerations:

• Pointed corners can be vulnerable to chipping. Bezel settings provide excellent protection.
• Clean regularly with warm water, mild soap, and soft brushes to maintain brilliance
• Store separately to prevent diamond-on-diamond contact that could cause abrasion
• Professional inspection annually ensures prongs and settings remain secure
• Ultrasonic cleaning is generally safe but consult your jeweller regarding specific settings
