Emerald Cut

Emerald Cut Diamonds are usually rectangular in form. They are step cut diamonds with diagonally cut corners and two, three or four rows of facets, parallel to the girdle on the crown and pavillion. The look of an emerald cut diamond is subtle and understated and it has less flash than a brilliant cut. The Emerald cut diamond has been around for a long time and is one of the classic fancy cuts. When matched with outer diamonds, it is best to go for a similar cut of stone, such as baguette diamonds, tapering baguettes or smaller emerald cuts. The proportion of an emerald cut is typically a length measuring approximately 1.5-1.75 times the width, although variations are common.
