About Hexagon Cut Lab Grown Diamonds
Hexagon cut lab grown diamonds are one of the most bold and architecturally striking diamond shapes available today — a distinctive six-sided geometric form that delivers a truly unique play of light and a modern aesthetic that stands apart from every traditional diamond cut. Increasingly popular among design-forward buyers who want something genuinely different, the hexagon cut is a statement of individuality, creativity, and contemporary style. At Variation, our certified collection brings you ethically created hexagon cut lab grown diamonds at prices that simply cannot be matched by mined stones.
What Is a Hexagon Cut Diamond?
The hexagon cut diamond is a geometric fancy cut featuring six equal sides arranged in a symmetrical hexagonal shape. Unlike traditional brilliant or step cuts, the hexagon cut can be finished in either a brilliant facet pattern — delivering maximum fire and sparkle — or a step cut facet pattern — delivering the dramatic, mirror-like flashes characteristic of emerald and Asscher cuts.
The hexagon cut's six equal sides create a perfectly balanced geometric form that is both modern and timeless — equally at home in minimalist contemporary jewelry and bold avant-garde designs. Its flat, open table and angular outline make it one of the most distinctive and visually arresting diamond shapes available, particularly popular in east-west settings where its full geometric profile is on maximum display.

How to Choose the Right Hexagon Cut Lab Grown Diamond
1. Choose Brilliant or Step Cut Faceting
The most important choice for a hexagon cut diamond is the facet pattern. A brilliant faceted hexagon delivers maximum fire, sparkle, and scintillation — ideal for buyers who want a bold geometric shape with traditional diamond brilliance. A step cut hexagon delivers deep, dramatic mirror-like flashes — ideal for buyers who want a more sophisticated, architectural quality. Both are equally beautiful — the choice is entirely personal preference.
2. Choose Regular or Elongated
A regular hexagon has six perfectly equal sides creating a compact, symmetrical shape. An elongated hexagon has two longer parallel sides creating a more dramatic, finger-elongating silhouette similar to an emerald or oval cut. Elongated hexagons are particularly striking in east-west settings where their full profile is on display.
3. Prioritize Symmetry
Symmetry is critical for a hexagon cut diamond. All six sides must be equal in length and all six angles must be equal — any deviation is immediately visible in this geometric shape. Always choose Excellent symmetry grades and view the stone face-up before purchasing to ensure perfect geometric balance.
4. Color Recommendations
Hexagon cut diamonds with step cut faceting retain color more visibly than brilliant cuts due to their large open facets. For white gold or platinum settings, choose D–F color grades. For yellow or rose gold settings — which pair particularly well with the hexagon cut's geometric boldness — G–H color grades offer excellent value.
5. Clarity Recommendations
For step cut hexagon diamonds, VS1 or higher clarity is recommended as the large open facets make inclusions more visible — similar to an emerald cut. For brilliant faceted hexagon diamonds, VS1–VS2 eye-clean stones offer outstanding value as the brilliant facet pattern conceals inclusions effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are hexagon cut lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds and are certified by the same internationally recognized grading laboratories.
Is the hexagon cut a brilliant cut or a step cut?
The hexagon cut is available in both brilliant and step cut facet patterns. A brilliant faceted hexagon maximizes fire and sparkle across its six-sided form. A step cut hexagon delivers deep, dramatic mirror-like flashes similar to an emerald cut. The choice between the two comes down entirely to personal preference for light performance and aesthetic style.
What is the best setting for a hexagon cut diamond?
A bezel setting is the most popular and practical choice for a hexagon cut diamond — it follows the stone's distinctive six-sided outline perfectly, protects the angular corners from chipping, and creates a clean, modern aesthetic that complements the hexagon's geometric character. East-west settings and minimal prong settings also showcase the hexagon cut beautifully.
What is the difference between a hexagon cut and an emerald cut?
Both can feature step cut faceting that delivers dramatic mirror-like flashes, but they differ significantly in shape. An emerald cut is rectangular with cropped corners. A hexagon cut has six equal sides creating a perfectly symmetrical geometric form. The hexagon cut is bolder, more geometric, and more distinctively modern than the emerald cut.
What is the difference between a hexagon cut and an Asscher cut?
Both feature geometric shapes with step cut faceting options but they differ in form. An Asscher cut is square with heavily cropped corners creating an octagonal appearance. A hexagon cut has six equal sides creating a true hexagonal form. The hexagon cut has a more open, modern geometric character while the Asscher cut has a more enclosed, vintage Art Deco appeal.
Are lab grown hexagon cut diamonds cheaper than mined ones?
Yes — priced up to 80% less than an equivalent mined diamond, with no difference in beauty, durability, or certification.
