Emerald Shape Diamonds
A diamond's shape is its outline when viewed from the top and is one of its most important defining characteristics. Distinguished by beveled corners and step facets, emerald cut diamonds are more transparent than other shapes, resulting in the need for higher standards of clarity. Emerald cut diamonds are renowned for their classic appeal and are a popular choice for consumers seeking an economical alternative to pricier round or princess cuts.

Diamond Shape
When selecting a certified diamond, shape is one of the most important factors to consider. The contours and outlines of a loose diamond have a significant impact on its appearance. At Brilliance, we offer the ten most popular shapes in our certified diamond search. Round diamonds have long been the most popular, although many modern consumers prefer alternative shapes, including emerald, princess, radiant, and asscher, among others. Each diamond shape has its own unique traits, aesthetic properties, and markings of quality.
Emerald Cut Diamonds
Emerald cut diamonds are usually shorter in length than a rectangle, falling somewhere in the range between a square and a rectangle shape. Distinguished by beveled corners and step facets, this type of loose diamond is more transparent than other shapes, resulting in the need for higher standards of clarity. If an emerald cut diamond is marked by an inclusion, it will be much more likely to be detected with the naked eye. For this reason, we recommend selecting a clarity level of SI1 or higher when choosing an emerald cut diamond.
Emerald cut diamonds are a popular choice among budget-conscious jewelry consumers seeking an economical alternative to pricier round or princess cuts. The more facets created by the diamond cutter, the higher its value will be.
To achieve optimal symmetry and light performance in a loose diamond, the stone must be cut to specific depth and table percentages. The depth percentage of a diamond measures the ratio of the stone’s depth to the diamond’s total diameter. The table percentage is the ratio of the width of the diamond’s top facet in relation to the width of the entire stone. For emerald cut diamonds, the depth and table ranges below will yield different qualities of cut.
- Depth Percentage
- Excellent: 76% – 56%
- Very Good: 78% – 54%
- Good: 80% – 50%
- Ideal: 72% – 60%
- Table Percentage
- Excellent: 74% – 55%
- Very Good: 76% – 50%
- Good: 80% – 50%
- Ideal: 72% – 60%
Every diamond shape has a length-to-width ratio, which determines how a certified diamond will appear when viewed from above. When selecting an emerald shaped diamond, look for a length-to-with ratio between 1.25 and 1.5.
