Emerald Cut Diamonds

Emerald cut natural diamonds use step-cut faceting rather than brilliant-cut faceting, producing a distinctive hall-of-mirrors effect with long, elegant flashes of light. Their large, open table and rectangular shape with truncated corners showcase the diamond's clarity and transparency more than any other shape. This makes them a favorite for buyers who prefer understated sophistication over intense sparkle.

Emerald cut diamonds require a higher clarity grade than most other shapes because their large, open step-cut facets act like a window into the stone. Inclusions that would be invisible in a round or princess cut are often noticeable in an emerald cut. For an eye-clean emerald cut, aim for VS1 clarity or higher. VVS2 is ideal if budget allows, as it virtually guarantees a flawless appearance.

Yes, emerald cut natural diamonds typically cost 25% to 40% less than round diamonds of equivalent carat weight, color, and clarity. This is because the emerald cut's step-cut faceting retains more of the rough crystal during cutting, resulting in less waste. Emerald cuts also tend to face up larger than round diamonds, so you get both a bigger-looking stone and a lower price point.
