Emerald-Cut Diamonds

The emerald cut is a step cut: a large table, long parallel facets, and subtle flashes of light rather than fine-grained sparkle. This clarity is both its appeal and a testament to the stone’s quality. In our live inventory, you’ll find emerald-cut diamonds—both lab-grown and natural, IGI- or GIA-certified—with transparent pricing and a 14-day right of withdrawal.

What to Look for in Emerald-Cut Diamonds

Proportions, Polish, Symmetry

GIA does not assign a cut grade for the emerald cut, but IGI now does. Also pay attention to polish and symmetry—ideally “Excellent” or “Very Good”—as well as table and depth. Evenly stepped facets create the typical hall-of-mirrors effect. The classic length-to-width ratio ranges from 1.30 to 1.50; square variations are called Asscher cuts.

Purity: VS1 and higher

The open table and the few large facets allow for a deep view into the stone. Inclusions that would be hidden by a round cut are more visible in an emerald cut. Therefore, aim for VS1 or better; choose VS2 only if the inclusions are located on the sides. The body color is also more visible, which is why G or better is the safer choice.

Size in millimeters per carat

A 1-carat emerald cut measures approximately 7.0 × 5.0 mm; a 1.5-carat stone measures approximately 8.0 × 5.7 mm; and a 2-carat stone measures approximately 8.8 × 6.3 mm. Because this cut distributes a relatively large portion of the weight toward the depth of the stone, it appears somewhat more compact than its length alone would suggest, depending on its proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does an emerald cut sparkle less?

It is a step cut with a few long facets instead of many small triangles. Rather than producing a fine, intricate fire, it creates broad, calm flashes of light and offers a glimpse into the depths of the stone. This is not a flaw, but rather the design intent behind this cut.

What clarity do I need for an emerald cut?

VS1 or better is the safe choice because the large table clearly reveals inclusions. VS2 is acceptable if the inclusions are located at the edge and do not appear as a spot or cloud beneath the table. For two carats or more, the visible surface area increases, so the higher grade is worth it.

What color goes well with an emerald cut?

Because the step cut reflects less of the body color, a step cut appears warmer than a round cut. A G grade or better remains subdued in white gold and platinum. In yellow or rose gold, you can easily go one grade lower, because the setting adds warmth anyway.

What is the difference between an emerald cut and an Asscher cut?

Both are step cuts with cut-off corners. The emerald cut is rectangular with a ratio of about 1.30 to 1.50, while the Asscher cut is nearly square with a ratio of 1.00 to 1.05. As a result, the Asscher cut appears more compact and displays a more distinct cross pattern in the center.

Lab-grown diamond or natural diamond?

Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are both composed of pure carbon and share the same crystal structure, hardness, and refractive index. The difference lies in their formation: one forms over millions of years in the Earth’s mantle, the other in a matter of weeks in a laboratory. Visually, they are indistinguishable without specialized laboratory equipment. Lab-grown diamonds are significantly less expensive than comparable natural diamonds, which is why, with the same budget, you can often get more carats or a higher clarity grade. Both types come with a laboratory certificate from us; you can look up the report number directly with the laboratory.
