Natural Emerald Diamonds

The emerald cut is a rectangular step cut with cropped corners: instead of the rapid sparkle of a brilliant, its long parallel facets throw broad flashes of light and shadow — a 'hall of mirrors' that reveals the diamond's interior rather than hiding it. That openness makes clarity the factor to watch (VS2 or better for a reliably eye-clean stone), and a length-to-width ratio near 1.40:1 gives the shape its classic, balanced silhouette.
