For centuries man has attempted to
predict personality through tea leaves,
astrological charts, and even bumps on
the head. Now, here's a new twist — in

favorite diamond shape ... round, oval,
pear, marquise or emerald cut.
Over the years, veteran jewelry ap-
praiser Saul Spero has deveroped a "per-
sonality profile" of individuals selecting
diamond engagement rings by observing
a direct correlation between the shape of
the diamond desired and the person's
character.
The credibility of Mr. Spero's observa-
tion is based on psychological precepts,
• confirms Dr: Frederick Koenig, professor
of sociology at Tulane University. "There
is a solid rationale behind Spero's obser-
Ations. When a person. selects a par-,
ticular geometric shape, that person
gives expression to an inner impulse... it
is a revelation of the inner self."
Now, have some fun with the "Dia-
mond Shape Profile."
• If you like Hound shape best, husband,
children and home life are terribly im-
portant. You're content, dependable and
relate easily to others. You eagerly an-

You're ambitious, want to keep up with•

, oes.the..l „/ u „diamond appeal
to you? Chances are you love to innovate
and are fully in your element when
you're being creative.
You're organized, but not inflexible,
and have a unique sense of .your own
style. You dare to be different, but are
not "far out.” The oval personality is a
blend of the round, square/emerald and
marquise.
• Someone who prefers the Marquise
shape is outgoing, impulsive, sometimes
temperamental; sexy and known to be "a
charmer" (depicted by two tapered
ends). You thrive on new challenges and
. your partner must do the same to keep
up with you.
' Your energies need the outlet of a
career and you're compelled to achieve
your potential. You savor excitement and'
don't like to be "cooped up" at home.
• A bit conservative, disciplined and
organized, describes someone who, favors
the orderly, angular. Square or emerald
.shape. Often your mind wins out over
your heart. You think things over clearly
before making decisions. You also have
good executive and leadership
capabilities.
Diamond shape, or cut; is just one of
the all-important "Four C's" that should
be'considered when buying a diamond,
advises Jewelers of America (JA), the
national trade organization dedicated to
consumer information and education.
