The Cadillac shape lab grown diamond keeps one long, straight base and narrows upward through two angled sides into two angled edges that meet at a point, tracing a five-sided shield outline. That outline is often linked to a car emblem, which is where this cut gets its common nickname. Because the shape carries so many distinct angles, keeping each edge straight and even takes real care from the cutter. Even a small slip on one edge is enough to throw off the whole outline once the stone is set.
This lab diamond takes a step-cut faceting style, laying broad, flat facets in tiers instead of the tiny, packed facets a brilliant cut relies on. That layout gives off a calm, mirror-like flash instead of busy sparkle, letting the stone’s own clarity and color show through clearly. A clean, well-cut stone in this shape holds a steady flash across its whole face. Because the facets sit broad and open, a stone with a warmer color tint shows more of that tint than it would in a brilliant-cut shape.
In the Cadillac cut lab diamond, the shape stays fixed, so carat weight, color grade, clarity grade, and how well the stone is cut determine the price of this lab created diamond. Small marks tend to stand out more here than in a brilliant cut, since the facets sit open and flat, so a clearer stone can carry a higher price in this shape. Carat weight and color do most of the remaining heavy lifting.
This cut is a top pick for a three-stone ring, set as a matched pair flanking a larger emerald or oval center stone. It also shows up in stud earrings, worn on its own for a bold, angled look. Some buyers choose a single one of these stones for a bold ring, letting its sharp angles carry the whole design. A signet-style ring is another spot where this shape’s flat base and pointed tip stand out well.
A Cadillac cut lab grown diamond gives buyers a sharp, angled silhouette that stands out next to a softer, rounder shape. It suits anyone drawn to bold, angled side stones instead of the usual round or baguette pairing. That distinct silhouette is a big part of why the Cadillac cut has become a top pick for standout ring designs. A vintage-styled setting suits this shape very well, since sharp, angular side stones have long been a hallmark of that style.

The name comes from the stone’s five-sided outline, which many buyers and jewelers think resembles the badge on a Cadillac car. It’s a casual nickname rather than an official trade term, and this lab diamond shape is sometimes also called an epaulette cut.
An emerald or oval center stone pairs well, since both echo this lab grown diamond shape’s own elongated, step-cut style. Two of these stones set on either side add a sharp, angled frame without pulling attention away from the center stone.
