The look Ousmane Diabate, a 35-year-old sales associate at Ralph Lauren, knew that he wanted to stand the test of time with his look, so he chose a timeless cut.The emerald cut is believed to have originated in the 1500s and was first designed for emerald gemstones – that’s where it gets its name. The cut was crafted to alleviate tension during the cutting process of the stone and to prevent chipping that's likely to occur in a naturally brittle stone. Originally a practical embroidery solution for cutting emeralds, it became popular for diamonds and other gems as well, due to its unique hall-of-mirrors effect and its elegant, elongated shape.

The emerald cut grew more in vogue in the 1920s, an era which saw the ascendancy of Art Deco. Its geometric lines and symmetrical shape complemented the architectural, minimal look of the era. From the vintage glamour of old Hollywood to the modern opulence of royalty, the emerald cut has always been the epitome of sophistication, serenity and sophistication.

Why Emerald-Cut Earrings Are Such a Standout

Stormy Stone emerald-cut diamonds aren’t meant to sparkle like brilliant cuts (and we don’t want them to) because they are meant to showcase clarity, depth, and beautiful, clean geometry instead. It's no wonder the style is coveted by those who opt for a polished look when they might have chosen a bit more dazzle.Emerald-cut earrings look especially beautiful as they neatly border and dress the face. Whether you like them in studs or drops, these earrings are so versatile they're perfect to wear during the day and then take out on the town at night, to a wedding or just to dress up your jeans! They also make stunning combinations with other items, like emerald pendants or minimal diamond rings, so you can build a whole cohesive vibe.

Emerald-Cut Diamonds and Their Distinctive Appeal

The step-cut facets are a signature characteristic of an emerald-cut diamond. Rather than the triangular facets that the round and princess cuts are known for, step cuts instead feature an overall look of the staircases, with long, parallel lines that entice the eye to wander inward. This shape is known for showcasing clarity, so it is important when selecting an emerald-cut diamond.Here’s why: Emerald-cut diamonds are usually the favourite of those who enjoy beauty over bling – those who understand exactly what it takes to make something beautiful and classic. Because their surface area is elongated, oval diamonds often appear larger than other shapes of equal carat weight, which tends to make them a more popular choice for earrings and statement jewellery.

The Birthstone Connection

While the emerald cut isn't reserved only for the emerald, it has a strong historical association. Emeralds, which are associated with rebirth, love and wisdom, are the birthstone for May. Today, most wear emerald pendants or emerald earrings in an emerald cut in order to commemorate a May birthday or because they just enjoy wearing this awesome green-coloured gemstone and all the symbolism behind it.
