DIAMOND SHAPE

The Emerald cut diamond

A rectangular step cut, the opposite of the brilliant: less fire, but a unique "hall of mirrors" effect.

Origin

Borrowed from the cut historically used on emeralds themselves, a brittle stone, step-cut to protect it from impact.

Character

The broad flat facets reveal the stone's clarity almost like a window, the most demanding cut in terms of clarity.

Ideal for

Those seeking a clean, architectural look, associated with the Art Deco era of the 1920s-30s.

Dealer's tip

On this cut, clarity comes first: inclusions are visible to the naked eye much sooner than on a round brilliant.
