Lozenge diamond — the complete guide.

The lozenge diamond has four equal sides with points at the top, bottom and both sides — a rhombus outline that is one of the most geometric and boldly individual shapes in the Fenora collection. This guide covers everything about the lozenge diamond.

01

What the lozenge diamond is — four equal sides, four points

The lozenge (also called a diamond-shaped diamond — fitting, given the shape) has a rhombus outline: four equal sides, with points at the top, bottom, left and right. It is one of the most geometric of all diamond shapes — pure geometry expressed in a gemstone.

The lozenge is set point-up in the most common orientation — one point facing the fingernail, the opposite point toward the palm, the two side points extending horizontally. This creates a bold, directional ring with strong geometric character.

At Fenora, the lozenge is one of the 15 shapes specifically because it offers buyers something that no conventional shape provides: pure geometric expression with no round softness, no oval romance and no marquise drama — just clean, equal-sided geometry. It is for buyers who love design and geometry as much as they love jewellery.

“The lozenge is the most architectural shape in the collection. It makes no concessions to softness or approachability — it is pure geometry. For buyers who love it, nothing else is the right answer.”
— Yash Chandpara, Founder

Lozenge proportions and orientation

ProportionLozenge RangeNote
Length-to-width ratio1.00–1.15Near-equal sides for the most balanced rhombus outline
Point angles60–75° at each cornerThe angle of the points affects the character — very acute points are very dramatic
Depth %58–65%Standard brilliant cut range
OrientationPoint-up (standard) or east-westPoint-up: one point toward fingernail. East-west: side points extending left and right across finger
Point-up vs east-west lozenge
  • Point-up (standard) — the most classic lozenge orientation. One point toward the fingernail creates a directional look. Elongates the finger
  • East-west — side points extending across the finger. Creates visual width. Very bold and horizontal. A distinctive alternative to point-up

Lozenge settings — protection at all four points

The lozenge has four pointed corners — all four require consideration in setting design. Protection at all four points is important for daily wear durability.

Lozenge setting options
  • Bezel setting — the most practical and most natural for a lozenge. A continuous metal rim following the rhombus outline protects all four points completely. The clean geometric bezel and the clean geometric stone create a very cohesive combination
  • 4-corner V-prong — one V-prong at each of the four points. Maximum stone exposure. More complex prong structure than a bezel but allows more light into the stone
  • East-west bezel lozenge — a lozenge in east-west orientation within a bezel is one of the most distinctive and architecturally bold ring configurations in the Fenora collection

Lozenge questions

Is the lozenge the same as a kite-shaped diamond?
Similar but different. A kite shape is asymmetric — wider at one end. A lozenge (rhombus) has four equal sides and is symmetric. The lozenge is the more pure geometric form.
Does the lozenge suit any particular hand type?
The lozenge in point-up orientation elongates the finger, similar to marquise and pear. In east-west orientation, it creates visual width. The architectural character suits buyers who are confident in their geometric aesthetic rather than one specific hand type.
Is the lozenge suitable as an everyday ring?
Yes — in a bezel setting, the four points are fully protected by the continuous metal rim. A bezel lozenge is as practical as any bezel ring. The stone hardness (Mohs 10) is identical to any other diamond.
