What is an emerald diamond?

A rectangular step-cut diamond with long, linear facets that emphasize clarity and a sleek "hall of mirrors" effect.

What is the difference between brilliant cut and step cut?

Brilliant cuts (e.g., round) have triangular facets for sparkle, while step cuts (e.g., emerald) use parallel facets for understated elegance.  

Why do celebrities like emerald cut diamonds?

Their clean lines and vintage glamour exude sophistication—think Amal Clooney’s iconic engagement ring.

Do emerald diamonds sparkle less?

Emerald cuts emphasize clarity and sleek lines over sparkle. They have a subtle, "hall of mirrors" effect rather than intense brilliance.

What should I prioritize in an emerald cut diamond?

Clarity (VS1+) and color (G+), as inclusions and yellowness are more visible in this cut.

Are emerald cut lab-grown diamonds different from natural ones?

No, lab-grown emerald cut diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. They offer the same clarity and elegance but are more sustainable and cost-effective.

What is a good length-to-width ratio for an emerald cut diamond?

A ratio of 1.30 to 1.50 creates a well-balanced, elegant shape. A longer ratio (1.50+) gives a more slender appearance, while a shorter ratio (~1.30) looks more squared.

Are emerald cut diamonds more fragile?

Their open facets and large table make inclusions and chips more visible, so a secure setting (e.g., four or six-prong, bezel) is recommended for protection.

Do emerald cut diamonds require special care?

Yes, because of their open facets, they can show dirt more easily. Regular cleaning with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush keeps them looking pristine.
