The emerald cut was developed for emeralds, because a usually brittle and often included stone needed a cut that relieved pressure, and the cropped corners protected its most vulnerable points. Applied to diamonds, it is a step cut with long, parallel facets that produce broad flashes of light. The open table shows colour and clarity more readily than a brilliant does, which is where growing the stone can be an advantage, since both are set to your preference before the diamond exists. The stone sits long and low profile on the finger and pairs naturally with our fluted collections, where the band follows the same parallel lines as the stone. Ethically sourced natural diamonds available upon request.
