Why an emerald cut for blue
A step cut sends light back in broad planes instead of scattering it into small flashes, and colored stones are usually cut this way for a reason: scattering dilutes color, planes hold it. The long open table is where the blue actually reads. The two tapered side stones are colorless, which gives the eye a reference point and makes the center look bluer than it would alone.
Reading the numbers
SI1 is the one grade here to understand rather than skim. A step cut shows its interior the way a window does, so clarity reads more plainly than it would in a brilliant cut of the same grade. The IGI report plots where the inclusions sit; ask us for it before you decide, because in this shape position matters more than the grade letter.
Common questions
What makes a lab grown diamond blue?
Boron present during growth. It is the same mechanism that colors blue diamonds formed in the earth, and it is graded on the fancy color scale by hue and saturation rather than on the D to Z scale.
Does SI1 clarity matter in an emerald cut?
More than it would in a brilliant. Step facets give an inclusion fewer places to disappear into, so where the inclusion sits on the report matters as much as the grade itself.
What are the two side stones?
Tapered colorless diamonds, 0.94 ct for the pair. They follow the straight edges of the emerald cut, which is why this shape takes tapered sides better than a rounded center would.
