With clean lines, pure symmetry, and it hypnotic hall-of-mirrors effect, the emerald cut draws you in. This iconic stone rose to prominence during the Art Deco era of the 1920s and 1930s, when structure and architectural beauty defined the moment, and nearly a century later, this iconic and easily recognizable silhouette remains a favorite among brides-to-be. Unlike more brilliant cuts, emerald cuts place particular importance on the stone itself, with cropped corners, step-cut facets, and a distinctive rectangular shape that leaves little room to hide imperfections. Whether set with a classic diamond or a colorful gemstone, the elongated and vintage-inspired silhouette allows the center stone to appear larger and more elegant on the finger.
