Vour diamond solitaire - the shape of things to come
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
order to reveal whether a person is
creative, aggressive, sensitive, earth-
bound or dreamy — look at his or her
favorite diamond shape ... round, oval,
pear, marquise or emerald cut.
Over the years, veteran jewelry ap-
praiser Saul Spero has developed 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 Kr. Spero's observa-
tion is based on psyc iological precepts,
confirms Dr. Frederick Koenig, professor
of sociology at Tulane University. "There
is a solid rationale behind Spero's obser-
vations. 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 Round shape best, husband,
children and home life are terribly im-
portant. You're content, dependable and
relate easily to others. You eagerly an-
ticipate all the comforts and joys of mar-
riage and motherhood. Even if you work,
a career is not your uppermost concern.
• The security of home and family
(suggested by the round portion) are also
very meaningful to someone who selects
the Pear shape. But you're eager to meet
new people and embark on new ex-
periences (indicated by the tapered end).
You're ambitious, want to keep up with
your peers and urge your mate to do
likewise.
• Does the °teal .hape 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
,hope 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.
Pictured above are the five diamond shapes. From top left are: emerald

shape diamond.
