History and Appeal of the Emerald Cut Lab Diamonds
The emerald cut traces its origins back to the 1500s, originally used by gem cutters to enhance the beauty of emeralds. Over time, its refined step-cut style was adopted for diamonds, creating a sophisticated look admired for centuries. Today, lab grown emerald cut diamonds bring the same iconic appeal with a modern, sustainable twist. Their clean lines and elegant symmetry make them a favorite for those seeking a bold yet classic statement.
Best Colour Grades for Emerald Cut Lab Diamonds
Emerald cut lab grown diamonds showcase their beauty best in near-colourless to colourless grades, typically ranging from D to H on the GIA scale. Because the step-cut facets emphasise clarity and transparency, even slight colour can be more noticeable compared to brilliant cuts. Choosing higher colour grades enhances the crisp, bright appearance that buyers love in emerald cuts. For those seeking a warmer tone, lower grades can also pair beautifully with yellow or rose gold settings.
