An emerald cut diamond creates a distinctive and elegant look that is beautifully unique. It evokes the celebrated Art Deco style for a finish that embraces the precision and sharpness of the period. This stylish cut creates rectangular facets in the diamond that beautifully accentuate the stone's clarity.
With a smooth rectangular top and delicately stepped sides, the emerald cut invites the wearer to see its inner beauty – the perfectly formed step cut facets and magnificently structured symmetry. As its name suggests, this cut was originally intended to enhance the beauty of emeralds, but it was soon discovered that the technique had much to offer a diamond’s scintillation and it has since become a popular way to enhance the stone's beauty.
An Emerald cut engagement ring is a symbol of wealth and status due to the high clarity required to appreciate its true beauty. A popular cut due to its elongated shape, Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian have all been seen wearing an Emerald cut engagement ring.
Depending on the number or rows in the crown and pavilion, an Emerald cut diamond will usually have 57 facets. The perfect ratio will typically be anywhere between 1.30 and 1.50 depending on the personal preferences of the wearer.
