Emerald Cut Diamonds

63 certified emerald cut diamonds available

The emerald cut trades sparkle for drama: long step facets create broad flashes of light — the 'hall of mirrors' — and an unmistakably sophisticated, editorial look. It is the shape of choice for minimalist and Art Deco-leaning brides.

Step cuts are transparent by design, so clarity matters more here than in any brilliant shape: inclusions that hide in a round can be plainly visible in an emerald cut. Prioritize VS2 clarity or better and view the actual stone whenever possible.

Emerald Cut Diamonds: common questions

Why do emerald cuts need higher clarity?+

Their large open facets act like windows rather than mirrors — there is no crushed sparkle to camouflage inclusions. VS2+ is the practical floor for an eye-clean stone.

Are emerald cut diamonds cheaper?+

Per carat they usually run 15–25% below rounds — but budget some of that savings back into the higher clarity and color grades the shape rewards.

What ratio suits an emerald cut?+

The classic range is 1.35–1.50. Squarer stones (near 1.2) feel Deco; longer stones (1.6+) feel fashion-forward.
