Read summary
What makes the emerald cut diamond a bold statement piece?
The emerald cut diamond offers a distinctive blend of vintage elegance and modern sophistication. Unlike other cuts that prioritize brilliance, the emerald cut showcases clarity through its step-cut design with concentric rows of facets. At Valquère, these lab-grown diamonds appear larger than same-carat alternatives due to their rectangular surface area, creating a luxurious statement on the finger.
Originally designed for emeralds but adapted for diamonds, this cut has become a celebrity favorite. Though it requires careful selection due to its transparency that reveals inclusions, Valquère's expert craftspeople guide customers through creating custom pieces that balance proportions and symmetry. The result is a sophisticated jewel that embodies a new kind of ethical luxury.

Enriching the Emerald Cut
The emerald cut, a rectangular cut, offers less shine but unmatched clarity, enabling every inclusion to be seen. The emerald cut, also known as the step cut, is like stepping up a staircase, featuring three concentric rows of facets arranged around the table, with an additional three on the pavilion.
Choosing an Emerald Cut: The Statement of Luxury
The emerald cut diamond, symbolizing the new kind of luxury, offers a vintage look with a sophisticated allure. It often appears larger due to the cut creating a larger surface area than other diamonds with the same carat weight. Set in a ring, it enhances the slender beauty of your fingers.
An Evolution from Emerald to Diamond
The emerald cut, traditionally employed for emeralds, was later used for diamonds, emphasizing clarity over brilliance. Today, with advanced cutting techniques, diamond cutters can minimize impurities, allowing the emerald cut to compete with a princess cut brilliant.
