Shop Emerald Cut Diamonds
Emerald diamonds look stunning – they're sleek, sophisticated, and striking. Unlike other stones with angled facets, emerald cut diamonds have long, parallel facets that are called step cuts. Step cuts feature a unique glimmer and provide a uniquely cut look.
An emerald cut diamond emphasizes long parallel step cuts with straight linear facets and clipped corners. The clipped corners prevent fractures that can occur at pointy tips and increase its stability. The parallel lines also enhance the diamond's strength and durability to protect against chips. Although most emerald cuts are rectangular, square variations exist (called square emerald cuts). Rectangular emerald cuts are more prevalent and more popular.
You'll evaluate each natural emerald diamond using its 4Cs (cut, color, carat, and clarity). As you browse emerald cut natural diamonds, you'll want to focus on a few important quality factors for these lovely stones: clarity and color. Emerald diamonds have a large surface table (top of the diamond), so clarity is essential. Keep an eye out for visible inclusions – any inclusions in the middle of the stone will be visible. In general, consider a clarity grade of VS2 for emerald diamonds.
The emerald cut emphasizes the gemstone's color, so you'll want to evaluate each stone's color carefully. The overall diamond color is based on your personal preferences – typically, colorless diamonds cost more because they're considered higher quality. However, some prefer warmer-colored diamonds rather than colorless versions. Note that diamonds in the D, E, or F colors are considered colorless and look more white and bright. D, E, and F are considered excellent quality, and G and H are considered "good" color grades. If you like a warmer-colored diamond, select a G or H diamond.

FAQs
Can emerald cut diamonds have different facet patterns?
Emerald-cut diamonds fall into the step-cut category because they have parallel cuts rather than angled facets like radiant cuts. The number of rows of facets on the crown and pavilion can vary in emerald cuts, which alters the total number of facets.
What settings complement the beauty of an emerald cut diamond?
Emerald cut's elegant and timeless look works well in various settings, including halo, bezel, pavé, east-west, solitaire, three-stone rings, and split shank bands. Sleek emerald cut diamonds are a flattering stone that elevates your engagement ring and complements many different settings. Browse designs to see the possibilities.
Can emerald cut diamonds be used as center stones in lab grown diamond engagement rings?
Definitely! Lab and natural diamonds can be mixed and matched in rings – they look exactly the same to the naked eye. You can get a natural center stone for a lab-made setting or vice versa. It's entirely up to you and your preferences to choose a natural or lab diamond or both.
How do emerald cut diamonds handle light compared to other cuts?
Step cuts emit a different kind of sparkle than radiant cuts. It's more of a glimmer as the parallel lines reflect the cut. Emeralds not only look glamorous, but their sparkle is subtle, elegant, and glamorous as well. Instead of tiny sparkles of light that emanate from angled facets like in radiant cuts, light that enters the diamond flashes because of the step cut. These flashes of white light are in contrast to the dark planes of each step within the diamond.
Are emerald cut diamonds suitable for everyday wear?
Emerald cut diamonds are durable and ideal for daily wear. Some emerald cuts have clipped corners rather than sharp points to protect the diamond from damage on the corners. Emerald diamonds are extremely hard and scratch-resistant, like other diamond cuts.
Are emerald cut diamonds more suitable for certain hand shapes?
Those with wider hands or fingers who would like the slimming effect of an elongated stone should try on emerald cut diamonds. The long, rectangular shape of the diamond can make fingers look longer and thinner.
What is the recommended setting for an emerald cut diamond in a pendant?
Emerald cut diamonds look stunning in many different pendants. Halo pendants are popular for emerald diamonds as well as solitaire pendants. For a trendier look, consider an east-west pendant where the diamond is set horizontally rather than vertically like you're used to seeing.
