Comprised of 58 facets, the emerald cut features two to four concentric rows of trapezoidal facets that give both an alluring and sophisticated life to the stone. The Emerald Cut Diamond is the height of reserved elegance.

With this step-cut facet pattern, the Emerald Cut diamond is a sublime combination of high Brilliance and visably symmetrical patterns that draw the eye into the depth of the stone.

This rectangular step-cut is a common cut for emeralds, hence, the name, however, it has always been a classic in the diamond world.
