History

The Emerald diamond shape received its name when a diamond cutter chose to cut a diamond in an Emerald shape as opposed to an Emerald. Emerald shapes are cut with "stepped" facets, which mean the facets resemble steps on a staircase.

The Emerald Diamond cut provides for a very elegant classic look and is known for its long lines. The pavilion (bottom portion of the stone) is cut with large rectangular facets to create an open effect or optical appearance.

Emerald Diamond "Cut"
The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. A poorly cut diamond will have a dull appearance even if it has perfect colour and clarity. The cut is considered one of the most important diamond characteristics by gemmologists. It is based on factors that determine the light performance, dimensions, and finish of a stone.

The diamond cuts should reflect the maximum amount of light to the viewer's eye. For example, if a diamond is cut too shallow, light will be lost out of the pavilion (bottom) and the diamond will lose brilliance. If the diamond is cut too deep, the light will escape through the sides and the diamond will appear dark.
