We offer - Emerald Cut Diamonds

Emerald cut diamonds are characterized by their distinctive rectangular shape, which features a series of step-like facets that create a stunning optical effect. Unlike traditional brilliant cuts, the emerald cut emphasizes clarity and color, allowing the viewer to appreciate the diamond's natural beauty in a more subdued, sophisticated manner.

Originally developed for use in emeralds, this cut has become a popular choice for diamonds due to its elegant lines and unique appearance. The larger, flat surface area of the emerald cut allows for a captivating play of light, resulting in a mesmerizing glow rather than the intense sparkle associated with other cuts. This quality makes emerald cut diamonds especially sought after by those who appreciate timeless elegance and understated luxury.



Emerald cut diamonds often have a ‘hall of mirrors’ effect, where light reflects between the facets, creating a beautiful interplay of light and shadow. This cut is particularly flattering to the finger and is often chosen for engagement rings, symbolizing sophistication and refinement.
