Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 1 carat emerald cut Lab Grown diamond a good size for an engagement ring? +
Yes. A 1 carat emerald cut diamond offers an elegant, elongated look with excellent finger
coverage. Its clean lines and hall-of-mirrors brilliance make it a sophisticated choice for
modern, timeless engagement rings.
Does a 1 carat emerald cut look bigger than other shapes at the same weight? +
Emerald cuts often have a larger face-up surface compared to deeper shapes like cushions or
radiants. This gives them a more elongated, spacious appearance, making a 1 carat emerald cut
look slightly larger than its weight suggests.
Do emerald cut Lab Grown diamonds sparkle differently than brilliant cuts? +
Yes. Emerald cuts have step-cut facets that create a sleek “hall of mirrors” effect rather than
the intense sparkle of brilliant cuts. Their beauty lies in clarity, symmetry, and long,
reflective flashes of light—perfect for someone who prefers understated luxury.
What clarity and color grades are best for a 1 carat emerald cut Lab Grown diamond? +
Emerald cuts highlight both clarity and color because of their open, step-cut facets.
Many buyers prefer D–G color and VVS–VS clarity to ensure a bright, eye-clean look
in a 1 carat stone.
Are 1 carat emerald cut Lab Grown diamonds certified by IGI or GIA? +
Yes. Most emerald cut Lab Grown diamonds, including 1 carat stones, come with IGI or GIA
certification. The grading report includes cut, clarity, color, carat, proportions, and
growth method (CVD or HPHT).
Is a 1 carat emerald cut suitable for everyday wear in jewellery? +
Absolutely. Emerald cuts are durable and timeless, especially when secured in a strong prong,
bezel, or east-west setting. Their flat surface and step-cut faceting make them ideal for
daily-wear engagement rings and pendants.
Do emerald cut diamonds show inclusions more easily at 1 carat size? +
Yes. Because emerald cuts have large open facets, inclusions are more visible than in brilliant
cuts. This is why many choose higher clarity grades (VVS or VS) for a crisp, clean look.
Which ring settings look best with a 1 carat emerald cut Lab Grown diamond? +
Emerald cuts shine in solitaire, baguette side-stone rings, three-stone designs, bezel settings,
and modern east-west styles. Their clean geometric shape complements both classic and minimalist
designs beautifully.
Is a 1 carat emerald cut diamond good value for money compared to round diamonds? +
Yes. Emerald cuts are often more accessible per carat than round diamonds, and Lab Grown stones
further enhance value, allowing buyers to choose higher quality within the same budget.
Do 1 carat emerald cut Lab Grown diamonds come in different ratios and styles? +
Yes. Emerald cuts come in various length-to-width ratios—from squarer shapes (around 1.30) to
