The Emerald Cut - A Classic Choice for Engagement Rings
The emerald cut is a classic cut which is often associated with a feeling of calm.
The facets are arranged in parallel fashion and are reminiscent of the steps of a staircase - hence the term "step cut" which is often used to describe this type of cut.
A stone's lustre and polish contribute to making the perfect cut. Contrary to the round brilliant cut where the diamond’s fire takes centre stage, when it comes to an emerald cut, the stone's polish and clarity are crucial. Due to the large table facet, however, any inclusions in the diamond are very clearly visible. For this reason, we recommend a clarity grade of at least VS.
The emerald cut is particularly popular for engagement rings. Its timeless elegance has made it a favourite for wedding proposals in recent years.
