1-carat emerald-cut diamonds

A 1-carat emerald cut measures approximately 7.0 × 5.0 mm and, due to its rectangular shape, appears longer than a round stone. Because the open table allows a deep view into the stone, VS1 clarity and a color grade of G or better are the safer choices. Lab-grown diamonds are significantly less expensive than comparable natural stones.

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 require a higher clarity grade?

The step cut has a few large facets and an open table. There is no fine sparkle to outshine the inclusions, so they are more visible. VS1 is the safe grade; VS2 is acceptable if the inclusions are oriented sideways.

How big does a 1-carat emerald-cut diamond appear?

At approximately 7.0 mm in length, it is longer than a round stone measuring approximately 6.5 mm, but narrower, at only approximately 5.0 mm in width. The cut traps a relatively large amount of weight deep within the stone, which can make it appear more compact when viewed from above.

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.
