Hexagone diamond — the complete guide.

The hexagone diamond has six equal sides in a regular hexagonal outline — a completely non-standard shape with strong geometric character. Rare, distinctive and deeply personal, the hexagone is for buyers who want a ring that no one else has. This guide covers everything about the hexagone diamond.

What the hexagone diamond is — six equal sides

The hexagone diamond has six equal sides arranged in a regular hexagonal outline — like a honeycomb cell, a snowflake crystal or a benzene ring. It is one of the rarest engagement ring shapes in common production and one of the most immediately distinctive.

At Fenora, the hexagone is part of the 15-shape collection — a deliberate choice to offer buyers a shape that is genuinely extraordinary and unavailable in most fine jewellery collections. The hexagone is for buyers who have looked at every conventional shape and found none of them individual enough.

The hexagonal outline creates strong associations with the geometry of nature — honeycomb structure, snowflake crystal formation, the six-fold symmetry that appears throughout the natural world. For buyers who value this connection, the hexagone has a meaning that no round or oval can carry.

“The hexagone is the shape I show buyers who say they want something no one else has. It is genuinely extraordinary. When they see it on screen for the first time, the reaction is always the same — immediate recognition that this is different from everything else.”
— Yash Chandpara, Founder

Hexagone cut and optical character

The hexagone is typically cut as a brilliant cut — triangular and kite-shaped facets adapted to the hexagonal outline. The six-sided geometry creates a different facet arrangement from round or oval brilliants, producing a distinctive sparkle character.

Hexagone optical characteristics

The six-sided outline creates six distinct zones of light interaction — a different sparkle pattern from round or oval
No bow tie effect — the hexagonal geometry distributes light evenly without the elongated shadow of oval or pear
Good brilliance — the brilliant-cut faceting produces strong white light return
The geometric regularity of the hexagon creates a very clean, structured sparkle pattern

Hexagone settings — the bezel is the natural choice

The hexagone has six straight sides and six corner points. The setting must address these corners — protecting them from chipping while allowing the distinctive hexagonal outline to remain visible.

Hexagone setting options

Bezel setting — a hexagonal bezel following the stone outline is the most natural and most popular hexagone setting. The continuous metal rim protects all six corners completely. The result is a very clean, geometric combination of stone and setting — the hexagonal outline is framed rather than interrupted
6-prong setting — one prong at each of the six corners. Allows more light into the stone. More visually complex than the bezel
East-west orientation — the hexagone can be oriented with one point facing up (point-up) or with a flat edge at the top (flat-up). Each creates a different visual character

Point-up vs flat-up orientation

Point-up — one of the six corners points toward the fingernail. Creates a more directional, dynamic look
Flat-up — a flat edge faces upward, creating a more horizontal, stable appearance. The most common orientation for hexagone rings

Hexagone questions

Is the hexagone one of the 15 Fenora shapes?

Yes. The hexagone is part of the Fenora collection of 15 certified lab grown diamond shapes. It is available in IGI certified lab grown diamond, set in any of the four Fenora metals.

Does the hexagone pair well with a wedding band?

Yes — a straight plain band pairs cleanly with a hexagone bezel setting. The geometric character of the hexagone is complemented by a simple, undecorated band. A custom contoured band can also be designed to sit flush against the hexagone setting profile.

What makes the hexagone appropriate for an engagement ring?

Its extraordinary individuality. There is no more distinctive engagement ring shape in mainstream fine jewellery use. For buyers who value having a ring that is completely their own, the hexagone has no equal.
