About Emerald Cut Diamond

The Emerald Cut Diamond has a broad rectangular shape with cropped corners. The unique make-up features a pavilion with rectangular trap-cut facets that intensifies the optical brilliance of the stone. The stepped facets sparkle more and with brighter flashes. Moreover, due to its rectangular shape and longer trim lines, the emerald cut diamond lends a broader yet well-contoured profile. These together make the Emerald Cut Diamond a symbol of classical beauty- a perfect blend of elegance and style.

An emerald cut is one of the most sought after Diamond Cuts. This octagonal step cut reveals the highest standard of craftsmanship while a larger table on the top indicates higher clarity of the Diamond. In colored diamonds, emerald cut brings in a dramatic luminosity as the light passes through the angular facets from all directions. Traditionally, an emerald cut shape is given to larger diamonds. A simple emerald-cut shape has a length-to-width ratio ranging between 1.30 and 1.40. It also features 58 facets including 25 pavilions, 25 crowns and 8 girdles. Today, a lot of experiments are done with other shapes as well. If you want a squarish emerald cut, then an Asscher-cut diamond is just the right choice for you.

When compared to other brilliant cuts, like round, oval and princess cut, the Emerald Cut tends to be less “fiery” (dispersed) and often shows off lower ‘flash’. But this does not undermine the real beauty of the Diamond. The clarity or sharpness still remains high on demand. The biggest incentive to buy an emerald cut is its comparatively low price. A widest selection of Diamonds in terms of sizes, shapes and carat weights are available within a decent price range. Moreover, due to an increase in supply of larger sized loose and fancy diamonds in the current period, jewelers are securing advantageous positions in the retail market by creating and selling more emerald cut diamonds. They are simple to process, cost reasonably low and meet the required quality standards as well. Emerald cut diamonds are becoming increasingly popular for consumers who are on a budget. They are not as expensive as other brilliant cuts but look equally chic and sophisticated on a ring or in a more elaborate jewelry setting.
