Emerald Diamond

• Emerald cuts are sleek and elegant. The Emerald
  cut is rectangular with cut corners. It is a step
  cut - its facets being broad with flat planes
  resembling the steps of a stair. Higher quality
  Emerald cuts are preferred because its cut makes
  inclusions and lower color grades more noticeable
  than with other cuts.

• The emerald cut diamond can be absolutely
  stunning. Because of it's long lines, it tends to
  be less fiery than a "round brilliant" cut, but
  it also tends to have broader, more dramatic
  flashes of light. The trim lines of emerald cut
  diamonds lend an elegant, sophisticated air to
  both the simplest and most elaborate ring
  settings.
• When purchasing an emerald cut diamond, it's
  extremely important to pay attention to quality
  and to select the highest grade stone you can
  afford. Because of the "openness" of the cut,
  flaws, color weakness, and a poor cut are more
  evident to the naked eye than a cut such as the
  round brilliant. The good news is, emerald cut
  diamonds are not as "traditional" as the round
  brilliant or as trendy as the princess cut --
  making their pricing extremely economical when
  compared to the more common cuts.
