Emerald Cut Diamonds

The emerald cut is one of the most preferred cuts used in engagement rings. This cut is categorized as one of the valuable ‘fancy cuts’ of diamond stones. Initially, it was developed for cutting emeralds, not diamonds; hence the name “emerald cut”. Emerald cut diamond engagement rings are now becoming more and more popular selection for engagement rings since they look quite sophisticated and elegant.

Technically, the emerald cut diamonds can either be rectangular or square. They also have cut corners; hence the emerald diamonds resemble a box when you look from above. This cut is sometimes known as “step cut” for having facets which resemble stair steps. A step cut diamond features sloping, four-sided facets, which are cut below the table and run parallel to the stone’s girdle. Compared to a round brilliant cut diamond, a step cut diamond has a fewer facets.

This solid feeling cut can be absolutely stunning. But, compared to round cut, it is less fiery owing to its long lines. The emerald cut diamonds also tend to possess broader, more dramatic flashes of light. Its trim lines give a stylish, sophisticated air to both the simplest and most complex ring settings. Remember that make sure to check the length and width of the emerald cut before purchasing. The most accepted cuts are those with the length-to-width ratio being 1.30:1 to1.65:1.

While purchasing emerald cut diamonds, always be sure to check quality and choose the highest grade stone. Color flaws are more visible in emerald cut than in other cuts. One can buy an emerald cut diamond at lower price than a brilliant cut of the same quality. The emerald cuts are not as fashionable as the round cuts or princess cuts. People preferring their jewels to be quieter and more understated would purchase emerald cut diamonds.
