How to find the perfect size for your Emerald Diamond?

In order to understand the ideal proportion when buying an emerald cut diamond, you need to know the Length to Width ratio. This is very straightforward to calculate. You take the length of the diamond and divide with the width of the diamond (length/width) which we have highlighted for you on the certificate. A ratio of 1.40 is considered “ideal”. However, ratios are dependent on personal preference. A lower ratio should be chosen for a more square shape, while for an elongated, more rectangular shape, a higher ratio is best.

carat

Carat weight can appear differently across different diamond shapes such as round brilliant, princess, pear, oval, cushion, marquise, emerald, radiant or heart. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. In other words, it is important to note that carat weight does not necessarily denote size.

This is especially true for Emerald Diamonds. The emerald cut is not as deep as for example a round diamond. Therefore, you may buy an emerald cut diamond that will appear bigger than, a round diamond that weighs the same. When shopping for emerald cut diamonds, compare sizes not carat weights.

color

Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. In nature, most white diamonds have a slight tint of yellow. The closer to being “colorless” a diamond is, the rarer it is. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each diamond against a master set and assign a letter grade from “D” (colorless) to “Z” (light yellow).

Color is generally more noticeable in an Emerald Cut than in other diamond shapes. This is primarily because its large table and step cuts retain more color than other diamond shapes, allowing the eye to see the natural color of the stone.

clarity

Diamond clarity is a measure of the purity and rarity of the diamond, graded by the visibility of these characteristics under 10-power magnification. A diamond is graded as flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no inclusions (internal flaws) and no blemishes (external imperfections) are visible.

The step cut and the large table (top surface of a diamond) of an emerald diamond accentuate the diamond’s Clarity, making even the slightest flaws highly visible. Hence, making inclusions in the emerald diamond more noticeable than some of the other popular diamond shapes such as round diamond and cushion diamond.

Why is the polish for a Emerald Diamond important?

The Diamond Polish refers to the finish done on the diamond’s surface after it has been cut. The facets of the cut diamond are polished so that it reflects and refracts optimal amount of light.

Why is the Symmetry for a Emerald Diamond important?

Symmetry in an emerald cut diamond is of extreme significance. This is primarily due to the fact that an emerald cut is made up of parallel lines. An emerald diamond with a poor symmetry grading will most likely result in a skewed looking diamond.

The role of Fluorescence in a Emerald Diamond

Fluorescence is the propensity of an emerald diamond to emanate a (soft) glow when presented to Ultraviolet light (UV light). At the point when UV light hits a diamond with fluorescent properties, the diamond emanates a glow. Regularly blue, it can likewise be shades of green, yellow, white or red. Fluorescence can happen in various forces. Gemological labs like the GIA rate diamond fluorescence on a scale from "None" to "Very Strong".
