Setting a squarer emerald cut
At 1.49 the outline is closer to a square than most emerald cuts, so a thin band suits it better than a wide one: the narrower the shank, the more of the stone reads as length. A G takes warmth from its surroundings, which makes yellow gold a deliberate choice here rather than a compromise. The metal and the stone agree instead of competing.
Reading the numbers
At 62.2% this is shallower than most emerald cuts, so it spreads wider face-up for its weight and gives up some of the depth that a deeper stone builds into the step pattern. The 59% table is narrow, which leaves more of the steps themselves visible around the edge and produces more contrast between the bright and dark planes.
Common questions
What is the difference between an emerald cut and an Asscher?
An Asscher is square, usually 1.00 to 1.05, with the same step facets. An emerald cut is rectangular. At 1.49 this is clearly an emerald cut, on the squarer side of the range.
Does a shallow emerald cut lose anything?
It trades depth for spread. The same weight covers more finger, and the corridor of steps you see looking down is shorter than in a deep stone.
Is G a good color for a step cut?
Step cuts show body color more readily than brilliants, because there is less faceting to break it up. G is in the near colorless band and reads white, particularly against yellow metal.
