1 Carat Emerald Cut Diamonds

A one carat emerald cut looks smaller on the finger than a one carat round — the step cut carries more of its weight in depth — but it looks longer, and the open table gives it a calm, architectural quality that no brilliant can imitate.

Clarity is the whole decision here. Those long parallel facets act as windows: an inclusion that disappears inside a round brilliant of the same grade can sit in plain view inside an emerald cut. Start at VS2, and if you are considering SI1, look at the stone rather than the letter.

Colour follows the same logic. Warmth reads more strongly through a step cut, so where an H round looks white, an H emerald may show a faint body tint against a white metal setting. F to G is the comfortable range at one carat. Ratios between 1.30 and 1.50 give the classic rectangle; below 1.25 the stone starts to read as an Asscher.

Questions people ask before buying

Are these diamonds certified?

Yes. Every stone is graded by GIA, IGI or HRD, and the report number is shown on the stone's page so you can verify it directly with the laboratory. A stone certified by any other laboratory, or ungraded, cannot be bought here at all.

Does the price include a setting?

No. Loose diamonds and ring settings are priced separately, so you can pair any stone with any setting in a compatible shape. The ring builder shows the two together and the combined total before you order.

What should I prioritise when choosing?

Cut first — it is the only grade you can see across a room. Then clarity down to eye-clean, usually VS2 or SI1. Then colour: G or H reads white in platinum, I or J in yellow gold. Then buy just under a landmark weight, because 0.95 ct looks like 1.00 ct and costs less. The guide to the 4Cs explains the trade-offs in full.

How much is shipping?

Nothing. Every order ships free and fully insured, anywhere in the world, at any order value. Import duties and taxes outside the United States are the recipient's responsibility.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days, unworn and in its original packaging with the certificate. The return leg is arranged and paid by you, and must be insured and tracked.

Is there a warranty?

A lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defect, for as long as you own the piece. Full detail on the FAQ page.
