Emerald Cut Diamond
Emerald cut diamonds stand out with their elongated, rectangular shape and chiseled step cuts. The linear facets offer character and brilliance. The emerald cut makes a great match for all types of ring settings, including three-stone rings and pave engagement rings.
With its large table and step cuts, the Emerald Cut diamond offers plenty of reflection. Inclusions can be more noticeable, so we recommend a VS1 or VS2 clarity grade. The cut quality is more difficult to evaluate, as the GIA doesn’t provide cut grades for Emerald cut diamonds. Review each diamond closely before buying or have one of our experts take a look.
The exact shape of your emerald cut should be personal preference, but we recommend a length to width ratio between 1.40-1.50. Consider rose gold, yellow gold, white gold or platinum for your emerald cut engagement ring.
