With its clean lines and mirror-like reflections, the emerald cut is a masterpiece of elegance and confidence — a choice for those who appreciate quiet sophistication over flash.

    What Makes the Emerald Cut Unique

    Unlike brilliant cuts designed for maximum sparkle, the emerald cut is a step cut — featuring 58 rectangular facets arranged in parallel lines. This creates a mesmerizing “hall of mirrors” effect rather than a fiery scintillation.

    The result? A diamond that radiates understated glamour, offering a sophisticated alternative to the more traditional brilliant shapes.

    At TrueCut, every emerald diamond is lab-grown, ethically crafted, and certified for clarity, precision, and proportion — because with this cut, craftsmanship matters as much as carat.

    The Beauty of the Step Cut

    The emerald cut celebrates structure and transparency. Its long, open facets emphasize clarity and cut precision, revealing the diamond’s purest form.
    That’s why we guide customers to prioritize clarity and symmetry when choosing this shape — because imperfections are more visible in step cuts than in brilliant cuts.

    TrueCut Tip:
    Choose a diamond with VS1 clarity or better and Excellent polish/symmetry to ensure crisp reflections and minimal inclusions.

    Why People Love Emerald Diamonds

    1. 🪞 Timeless sophistication
      The clean geometry feels both vintage and modern, making it ideal for minimalists and classic romantics alike.

    2. 💎 Illusion of size
      The broad, open surface makes the diamond appear larger than its actual carat weight.

    3. Architectural beauty
      The facets create a structural light reflection — not flashy, but deeply captivating.

    How to Choose the Perfect Emerald-Cut Diamond

    When selecting your emerald cut, focus on:
