The emerald shaped diamond has its roots in the 1500s, when gem cutters devised the step cut to ease the cutting process and safeguard the cut of fragile stones. The step cut technique eventually became associated with Art Deco style for its crisp symmetry and bold scissor-like flashes of light. The emerald cut diamond features broad, mirrored facets, which capture the imagination for the “hall of mirrors” effect. The step cut represents elegant craftsmanship and a commitment to displaying clarity and proportion. Couples today remain devoted to the classic cut, as it speaks to architectural beauty and an expression of the high clarity emphasis of a diamond.
