How To Choose Between Square And Round Drill

If you’re new to the world of Diamond Painting, you are about to embark on an exciting journey that is sure to provide hours of enjoyment as you express the artistry within you. But best of all, when you’re done you’ll have an amazing work of art to display proudly in your home or office! Plus you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you created it yourself. And, yes, anyone can do it!

The Physics of Diamonds

Often referred to as 5-D DIAMONDS due to the geometry of their multi-faceted surface, both Round Diamonds and Square Diamonds have different angled planes that reflect light to give the finished piece a sparkling effect. You may even find they shimmer like a disco ball, but without the boring repetitive beat and bad hair styles!
Diamonds are also commonly referred to as a “drill,” referring to the shape of each individual diamond you’ll be applying to your canvas.
 

Square VS. Round Diamonds: What’s the Difference?

Round Diamonds are generally preferred by beginners, as they are easier and faster to pick up and place on the canvas with the applicator.
Double The Sparkle
Round Diamonds are known to have a more sparkly appearance, especially on larger paintings. Our 26 facets Round Diamonds are cut differently from our competitors. They are designed to have MORE sparkle than any other diamonds on the market as others only have 13 facets. Double the facets, double the shine!

The Perfect Fit
Diamonds of the square variety fit together very neatly, with no gaps, and are preferred when creating larger canvases.
The “Snap”
Another feature people really seem to like about the Square Diamonds is the satisfying “snap” sound they make when you are close to finished and filling in the gaps. The feeling has been compared to popping bubble wrap, which is arguably one of life’s greatest pleasures!
