Celebrated for their sophisticated and timeless appeal, emerald cut diamonds have a rectangular or square shape with trimmed corners, and it features a step-cut faceting pattern that imparts a hall-of-mirrors effect rather than the traditional fiery brilliance seen in other cuts. The emerald cut's origins can be traced back to the 16th century when it was first used for cutting emeralds, hence its name. Over time, jewelers adapted this cut for diamonds, appreciating its understated elegance and emphasis on clarity over sparkle. Today, emerald cut diamonds are highly sought after for their clean lines, graceful proportions, and vintage-inspired charm.
