on the assumption that you are asking about diamonds that have been cut...

1. The round cut is the most popular diamond shape, it maximizes potential brightness.

2. The Princess cut is a popular fancy shape for engagement rings

3 Oval diamonds have the advantage of an elongated shape whoch can create an illusion of greater size.

4. Marquise diamond is football shaped and has one of the largest surface areas

5 .Pear shaped diamonds, a combination of round and marquise shapes with a tapered point at one end

6 .Cushion ground diamonds combines a square cut with rounded corners

7. Emerald cut diamonds produce a 'hall of mirrors effect'

8. Asscher cut is similar to Emerald cut but in a square shape with larger facets, the effect is more brilliant than the emerald cut.

9. Heart shaped diamonds, popular in solitaire pendants and rings, the symbol of love
