Description
7.23 ct emerald cut, F color, VVS2, IGI certified, measuring 13.41 by 8.67 mm. A 1.55 length to width ratio.

Setting an emerald cut
Step cuts want clean geometry around them. Four prongs at the corners, or a bezel that follows the outline, and very little else. The classic alternative is a three stone with tapered baguettes or trapezoids either side, which continues the straight lines instead of interrupting them. Set east-west, the length runs across the finger and the stone reads wider than it is.
Reading the numbers
Emerald cuts run from about 1.30 to 1.60; at 1.55 this one is at the long classic end. The 68.7% depth is deep, which is normal for the cut and is where the corridor effect comes from, light travelling down through the steps and back rather than bouncing off a shallow face. The 63% table keeps that corridor visible instead of flattening it.
Common questions
Why does clarity matter more in an emerald cut?
The large open table works like a window, and step facets give light few places to scatter. Anything inside the stone has less to hide behind. VVS2 means nothing is locatable at ten times magnification, and the gap between VVS and VS only shows at that magnification.
Does an emerald cut sparkle?
Not the way a brilliant does. It returns light in broad planes that switch on and off as the hand moves, rather than in small points of fire.
What length to width ratio should an emerald cut have?
Between 1.30 and 1.60 covers almost all of them. Below 1.30 it starts to read square, above 1.60 it starts to read narrow.
