Everything You Need to Know About Emerald Cuts: 💎
Emeralds are an elongated shape, creating the illusion of longer, slimmer fingers. The step-cut facing of emerald cut diamonds is often what most appeals most to fans of this shape, creating a sleek and elegant “hall of mirrors” effect. This step-cut faceting showcases the clarity of the stone more so than any other diamond shape, acting as a looking glass. Because of this, inclusions may appear to be more visible compared to other diamond shapes. However, emeralds hide color very well allowing you to save in this area to invest in clarity. The step-cut faceting also can minimize the reflection of light within the stone, which is why brilliant cuts like rounds or radiants generally have a greater sparkle.
So what do you think? Are emerald cuts your favorite shape?
