Which term means Any gemstone shape other than round?

• A. Fancy-colored diamonds
• B. Fancy cut
• C. Etch Channels
• D. Feather

Answer: (B)

Non-round gemstone shapes are referred to as fancy cuts. The round cut is the standard, so any other silhouette—oval, marquise, pear, emerald, princess, cushion, heart, and so on—falls under the umbrella of fancy cuts. This term helps distinguish shapes that deviate from the classic round form. The other terms describe color or internal features rather than shape: fancy-colored diamonds relate to color, while etch channels and feather indicate surface or internal characteristics, not the gemstone’s outline.
