Emerald Diamond Cut - A Perfect Way to Show Off Your High Quality Diamond
By: Ted Crist
Emerald cut at the beginning is a type of cut that used on emeralds, but now applied on diamonds too. Emerald diamond cuts included in step cuts category, because it has 58 facets (25 crown, 25 pavilions, and 8 girdles) with broad, flat surface and forming like a steps of a stair. Normal length to width ratios for emerald diamond cut is 1.30:1 - 1.75:1.
Although emerald diamond cut is not as brilliant as round brilliant cut or princess cut, but the shapes gives more flashes of light. This can happen because emerald diamond cut have a wider, shinny area that reflected the light or act like a mirror. If you want to buy emerald diamond cut, I suggest you to buy a diamond that has good color, good clarity and good polish, because flaws and yellowish color will easily noticeable in emerald diamond cut. It is better if you buy certified diamond, because I found a fraud case that tells the customer that the diamond is ideal cut, but in reality there is no ideal cut for emerald cut type, and worst, the cut is far from good.
People said normally emerald diamond cut price is lower than round brilliant cut or princess cut with same quality, but in fact that is not 100% true. The production cost to make brilliant cut diamond is higher, but trends is one of major factor that determine the selling price and that what makes the emerald diamond cut is as expensive as brilliant diamond cut.
Carat, color and clarity are determined by nature, emerald diamond cut accentuate that beauty and also a perfect type of cut to show off your high quality diamonds.
