Emerald Cut Diamonds
The emerald cut is a rectangular step cut: long parallel facets and cropped corners that produce broad, mirror-like flashes rather than fiery sparkle. It is the shape of choice for anyone who prefers architecture to glitter.
Step cuts have nowhere to hide, so clarity and colour matter more here than in any brilliant shape — VS2 and above is a sensible floor. You can compare natural and lab-grown stones side by side here — chemically and optically identical, differing only in origin and price. Our lab-grown diamond guide explains how the two compare. Compare it with every other outline in our diamond shapes guide, and get to grips with what actually drives price in our diamond 4Cs guide. Every stone is independently certified, priced transparently, and can be set into any ring in our collection or into a design of your own.
