The Art of the Octagon Cut
The octagon cut is a popular cut that is admired for its symmetrical looks. Unlike the round cut, which emphasizes brilliance, the octagon cut, which features eight sides, is aimed at revealing the “soul” of the sapphire. This cut features a "step cut," which resembles a staircase of steps that lead to the center of the stone. This cut emphasizes the clarity as well as the saturation of the stone, and this is why it is preferred by those individuals who value simplicity and elegance.

Frequently Asked Questions
1 .What is the difference between an octagon cut and a traditional round cut?
While a round cut is designed to maximize "brilliance" (sparkle), the octagon cut is a step cut designed to showcase the "soul" of the stone. It features parallel facets that look like a staircase leading into the gem. This highlights the sapphire's clarity and depth of color rather than just its surface shimmer.
2. Does an octagon cut make the sapphire's color look different?
Yes. Because of its open, broad facets, the octagon cut allows you to see the true saturation of the stone. It often makes the color appear more even and calm. This is why we only select sapphires with high color consistency for this specific cut, there is nowhere for imperfections to hide!
3. Is an octagon sapphire durable enough for an engagement ring?
Absolutely. In fact, the octagon cut is quite practical. By clipping the corners (creating eight sides instead of four sharp ones), the stone becomes less prone to chipping compared to square or princess cuts. Since sapphires are a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, they are incredibly tough and perfect for daily wear.
4. Why the octagon cut considered "modern" yet "classic"?
The clean, straight lines of the octagon cut were a staple of the Art Deco movement in the 1920s, giving it a vintage, "Old Hollywood" feel. However, its bold geometric silhouette feels incredibly fresh and architectural by today's standards, making it a favorite for those who want a unique, non-traditional look.
