Diamond Profile: Emerald Cut Diamonds

Sleek and Sexy. Elegant and sophisticated.

These are words commonly used to describe the sublime beauty of an emerald cut diamond. Even though the cut has existed for over a century and enjoyed a boom in popularity during the Art Deco Era, it exudes a perpetually modern appeal.

The cut itself is relatively simple when compared to other fancier diamond cuts. The cut is usually a rectangle, the ratio of which can vary from stone to stone, and features a step cut faceting on the underside with angled corners. The result is a large open table (top area of diamond) the serves as a clear window straight to the bottom of the stone. If you’re searching for a classically shaped emerald cut diamond, look for a length to width ratio between 1.30 to 1.40.

Tips on buying emerald-cut diamonds

When shopping for an emerald cut diamond, it’s highly recommended that you select a clean stone, free of large imperfections. For diamonds SI clarity or lower, check to see where the imperfections on the diamond are located, ideally they will be towards the edges or corners of the stone where they can be hidden by the facets.
