FAQs

The emerald cut is for those who appreciate understated elegance and clean lines. Its minimalist beauty and vintage appeal make it a sophisticated and chic choice. The long facets create a "hall of mirrors" effect, giving the stone a mesmerising, crystalline appearance. It’s a bold statement that stands out from more traditional cuts.
A poorly cut emerald cut diamond, with too much of its weight in its depth, can absolutely look smaller than a well-proportioned one. When shopping for an emerald cut diamond, it is essential to look at the specific dimensions and depth percentage on its grading report (like a GIA or AGS certificate), rather than relying solely on the carat weight.A good depth percentage for an emerald cut is typically in the 60-69% range
Due to their large, open facets, emerald cut diamonds are less effective at hiding inclusions than brilliant cuts. This means that clarity is a more important factor to consider. Our team carefully selects each of our lab grown diamonds to ensure exceptional quality and clarity, giving you confidence in your choice.
The clean lines of the emerald cut are perfectly complemented by a simple, elegant setting that allows the diamond to be the focal point. A classic four-prong solitaire setting is a popular choice. For a more dramatic look, an emerald cut can be flanked by two smaller side stones or framed with a simple halo.
