Emerald Cut Gemstones
The emerald cut — named after the gemstone it was designed to showcase — features a rectangular outline with step-cut faceting and clipped corners. Unlike brilliant cuts that maximize sparkle, the emerald cut's broad, parallel facets create a dramatic "hall of mirrors" effect that emphasizes a stone's color depth and clarity. This makes it a particularly revealing cut that rewards the finest quality material.
FAQs — Emerald Cut Gemstones
Why is the emerald cut so popular for sapphires?
Sapphires in emerald cuts display their color in rich, uninterrupted flashes that showcase the stone's saturation beautifully. The step-cut faceting also highlights a sapphire's natural luster in a way that brilliant cuts cannot.
Does an emerald cut show inclusions more than other cuts?
Yes — the open, broad table of an emerald cut makes inclusions more visible than in brilliant cuts. We select only the cleanest stones for our emerald cut inventory to ensure every stone meets our quality standards.
