Frequently Asked Questions
What makes emerald cut lab grown diamonds different from other shapes? +
Emerald cut diamonds have a rectangular shape with cropped corners and step-cut facets.
Instead of intense sparkle, they display a refined “hall of mirrors” effect, giving a
sophisticated, minimalist, and ultra-elegant appearance.
Do emerald cut diamonds sparkle less than round or oval diamonds? +
Yes, emerald cuts have fewer but larger step facets, so they show broader flashes of light
rather than intense scintillation. The look is more understated and elegant, ideal for
those who prefer a clean, modern aesthetic over maximum sparkle.
Are inclusions more visible in emerald cut lab grown diamonds? +
Because emerald cuts have large, open tables and step facets, inclusions can be more visible
than in brilliant cuts. Many buyers prefer VVS–VS clarity for a crisp, eye-clean look,
especially in higher carat sizes.
What is a good length-to-width ratio for emerald cut diamonds? +
Most people like ratios between 1.30 and 1.45. Lower ratios look more square and bold,
while higher ratios appear longer and slimmer. It’s mainly a style preference and finger shape match.
Do emerald cut diamonds look bigger on the finger than other shapes? +
Emerald cuts often look larger than brilliant shapes of the same carat because of their
wide, open table and elongated outline. They create strong finger coverage and a very
bold presence on the hand.
Which settings look best with emerald cut lab grown diamonds? +
Emerald cuts shine in solitaire, 3-stone, baguette side stone, halo, and bezel settings.
Their geometric shape pairs beautifully with clean, modern, and Art Deco-inspired designs.
Are emerald cut lab grown diamonds suitable for engagement rings and daily wear? +
Yes. With proper setting (especially protected corners), emerald cuts are durable and
suitable for everyday engagement rings. Their low-key elegance makes them ideal for
long-term daily wear.
What colors work best for emerald cut diamonds in lab grown options? +
Because of the open, step-cut faceting, color can be more noticeable in emerald cuts.
Many buyers choose D–G color for a bright, white appearance, taking advantage of the
value that lab grown diamonds offer at higher color grades.
Are emerald cut lab grown diamonds certified by IGI or GIA? +
Yes. Emerald cut lab grown diamonds can be certified by IGI, GIA, and other respected
gemological laboratories, with full grading for cut, color, clarity, carat weight, and growth method.
Do emerald cut lab grown diamonds come in different sizes and proportions? +
Yes. They are available from under 0.50 ct to 10+ ct with various length-to-width ratios,
so you can choose a more square or elongated emerald cut based on your style and ring design.
