{"title":"Emerald Cut Sapphires - Step-Cut Loose Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe emerald cut is the most architectural and refined shape in sapphire faceting - a rectangular outline with cropped corners and a series of long, parallel step facets that produce a hall-of-mirrors reflection rather than the sparkle of brilliant cuts. Emerald-cut sapphires read sophisticated, modern, and quietly luxurious. They are the cut of choice for design-conscious buyers who want their stone to look like a refined object rather than a sparkler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Emerald Cut Sapphires from Crescent Gems\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEmerald cuts demand exceptional rough - the step facets open the stone up, so inclusions, color zoning and cutting marks are easier to see than they are in a brilliant cut. Each listing describes what we see in that particular stone. Most of the stones listed in this cut are \u003cstrong\u003eunheated\u003c\/strong\u003e and the rest are heated; every listing states which. Where a stone has a \u003cstrong\u003eGIA report\u003c\/strong\u003e, the listing gives the report number. Each stone is photographed under standardized lighting to show how the steps return light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Choose an Emerald Cut Sapphire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClarity is everything.\u003c\/strong\u003e Because step facets act like windows into the stone, inclusions show more clearly than in \u003ca href=\"\/en-hk\/collections\/round-sapphires-calibrated-loose-stones\"\u003ebrilliant round cuts\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en-hk\/collections\/cushion-sapphires-vintage-style-loose-stones\"\u003ecushion cuts\u003c\/a\u003e. A well-chosen emerald-cut stone has very few visible inclusions, especially in the table. An unheated stone in this cut needs genuinely clean rough to look its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor evenness.\u003c\/strong\u003e Color zoning - streaks or patches of darker or lighter color - is visible in emerald cuts in a way it is not in brilliant cuts. The best stones show uniform color across the entire face-up surface. We describe color zoning honestly on every listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutline proportion.\u003c\/strong\u003e Emerald cuts run from nearly square to distinctly elongated, and which proportion suits you is a matter of taste rather than a standard. Every listing gives the stone's measured length, width and depth in millimetres; any length-to-width figure is our own arithmetic from those measurements and is not a report field.

They work in east-west settings (stone set horizontally), bezel settings, and clean-line solitaires. A 1ct emerald-cut sapphire measures approximately 7x5mm face-up - proportionate for most hand sizes without overwhelming a delicate setting.

Emerald the gemstone is a variety of beryl, a completely different mineral from sapphire, which is a variety of corundum.
