Emerald diamonds are such a versatile shape when it comes to ring settings. They look fabulous on their own set in a solitaire, in a halo, and in most other style settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">The most important part when choosing your Emerald diamond is to set your budget. Next, rank The Four C&#8217;s in order of most to least important to you. The Four C&#8217;s are: Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\/Diamond-Education\">Click here<\/a> to read more about The Four C&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Emerald diamonds are step cut which means their faceting is parallel. Due to their cut, emerald diamonds flash sparkle when the light hits them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Emerald diamonds do not hold on to color as much as other elongated diamond shapes. Color is the amount of warmth in the diamond.  As always color is a personal preference, when choosing your perfect diamond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Here are a few examples of emerald diamonds with different color grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5E077EB8-455E-481C-92DD-698FEAD9A055.jpg?fit=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5E077EB8-455E-481C-92DD-698FEAD9A055.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5E077EB8-455E-481C-92DD-698FEAD9A055-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5E077EB8-455E-481C-92DD-698FEAD9A055-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5E077EB8-455E-481C-92DD-698FEAD9A055-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><figcaption>As a reminder, the black coloring in the diamonds is a reflection of the camera.

We have done the work for you by measuring the depth and the table percentages. Fancy shaped diamonds such as an emerald, that fall in within very good and excellent cut will have the maximum amount of sparkle. They will also measure appropriately to their carat weight. The length to width ratio measures the overall shape of the emerald diamond. Emeralds with a length to width ratio of 1.2 will appear chunkier. Emeralds with a length to width ratio of 1.5 will appear elongated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5429BA26-60D8-4526-BCC3-08520A8945D2.jpg?fit=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5429BA26-60D8-4526-BCC3-08520A8945D2.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5429BA26-60D8-4526-BCC3-08520A8945D2-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5429BA26-60D8-4526-BCC3-08520A8945D2-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/5429BA26-60D8-4526-BCC3-08520A8945D2-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8B9C0C85-F19E-48EF-BF48-2822B29C490A.jpg?fit=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8B9C0C85-F19E-48EF-BF48-2822B29C490A.jpg 1125w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8B9C0C85-F19E-48EF-BF48-2822B29C490A-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8B9C0C85-F19E-48EF-BF48-2822B29C490A-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8B9C0C85-F19E-48EF-BF48-2822B29C490A-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">A length to width ratio of 1.2-1.35 give the emerald diamond a more chunky appearance.
