What is a Flanders shape diamond?
A Flanders shape diamond is a special brilliant cut characterized by its octagonal outline and extremely symmetrical “cut” standard. The main characteristics of a Flanders shape diamond – octagonal shape, exceptional symmetry, and unique light reflection – determine its value and appeal.
This cut is rare, so every such diamond is perfectly symmetrical and often perfectly polished, which further emphasizes its exclusivity.
History of the Flanders shape
This cut originated in Belgium in the late 20th century and was created to provide more brilliance than conventional square or rectangular diamonds.
Uniqueness of the Cut
The Flanders shape diamond is not only geometrically perfect – it combines the light reflection of a brilliant with the clean lines of a princess shape.
It is not just another square cut – the Flanders shape diamond stands out for its unique play of light.
Why is the Flanders shape diamond rare?
Cutting it is complex, so only experienced craftsmen can create the ideal shape that meets the highest GIA, HRD, or IGI standards.
A diamond is more than a piece of jewelry
Diamonds are a symbol of love, luxury, and loyalty, and a Flanders shape diamond is also an expression of individuality.
Brilliant and Flanders – what is the difference?

A brilliant is a round cut optimized for light reflection. The brilliant cut is characterized by maximum light reflection and a round shape, while the Flanders shape stands out with a square structure with eight corners, so the play of light and visual effect differ from brilliants. Flanders – square with eight corners and a special “fire” effect.
Clarity of the Flanders shape
Like all gemstones, Flanders diamonds are graded by clarity. VS1 or SI1 offers an excellent balance of price and quality.
Diamond color – choice of color
Diamonds of this cut are usually selected from D to H color grades for maximum brilliance. The G-H color range is a popular choice for its good value for money.
Some Flanders diamonds may have a yellow tint, which is also valued in the market. Although Flanders shape diamonds are mostly colorless, you can also choose stones with a yellowish or even blue tint. For example, some buyers choose yellowish or blue-tinted diamonds to make their jewelry stand out.
Carat and weight
Diamond carats (size) are one of the most important factors determining its value. Carats and size directly influence the diamond’s price and investment value – the larger the diamond in carats, the higher its price and potential return for the investor.
The price of a diamond per carat depends on weight, color, clarity, and cut quality.
Price of a 1 carat diamond
A natural 1 carat Flanders shape diamond can cost from 4500 to 9000 euros, depending on the parameters. Before buying, it’s worth setting a budget to make it easier to choose the right diamond.
Price of a 1 carat lab-grown diamond
The price of a 1 ct Flanders lab-grown diamond (Lab Grown Diamond) starts from approximately 500 euros – a great choice if you want high quality at a lower price.
