Special Cut Diamonds
Special cut diamonds are for the ones who never quite fit the standard brief — shapes that go beyond the classic Rounds and Ovals, and into something unique, more considered, moreyou.
A Diamond Made For You
Every diamond begins as a feeling, then becomes something far more personal.
HOQ's special cuts are crafted to order, shaped around who you are rather than what's already on the shelf.
From the intricate facets of a Portuguese cut to the quiet geometry of a Lozenge or the clean edges of a Hexagon, these are diamonds reimagined from the inside out — cut with intention, worn with meaning, and belonging to no one else in quite the same way.
Select Special Cuts
The Trillion Cut
Three sides. No weak angles. The Trillion doesn't ask for attention — it just gets it.
Cut into a perfect triangle, it catches light from directions most diamonds forget exist. Worn alone, it's a statement. Stacked, it's a conversation. Either way, it's the piece people ask about first.
For those who already knew they weren't going with the obvious choice.
The Moval Cut
The oval wanted more edge. The marquise wanted more softness. The Moval is what happened when neither gave in.
It's a hybrid: part marquise, part oval with an elongated silhouette that sits long and lean on the finger. The effect is immediate: fingers look longer, the stone looks larger, and the whole thing reads vintage without trying to be.
A 1.7–2.2 length-to-width ratio, for those who like knowing exactly why something works.
The Portuguese Cut
Most diamonds catch light. The Portuguese cut holds a conversation with it.
161 to 200+ facets — more than almost any cut in existence — arranged so precisely that the stone doesn't just sparkle. It performs. Every angle a new scene. Every shift of the finger, a different story.
The deep pavilion pulls light inward before releasing it in every direction at once. The result isn't flash. It's depth you can see through.
The Lozenge Cut
Four sides. Four points. The lozenge is a step cut — meaning its facets run in clean parallel lines, creating a hall of mirrors rather than a fireworks show. Depth over flash. The kind of stone you find yourself looking into, not just at.
That quiet intensity is exactly the point. This is understated luxury in its purest form — a sharp geometric silhouette that sits on the finger like a decision already made.
The Hexagon Cut
The architectural hexagon sits at the intersection of geometry and jewelry — a cut that looks like it was designed as much as it was crafted.
The light play here is dynamic without being loud. Step cut facets that catch and move, a stone that rewards a second look.
For the piece that earns its place as the centerpiece — not by being the biggest thing in the room, but by being the most considered.
More Shapes and Cuts
Old Mine cuts steeped in history. Dutch Marquises with their quiet drama. Modified emeralds that break every expectation. The world of special cuts is wider than most people realise — and the best ideas are often the ones that don't yet have a name.
If you can picture it, let's talk.
