Specifically, the emerald cut diamond takes the rectangular shape with slightly cut corners. Initially, the emerald cut was made for use on emeralds, but its classy look immediately led it to be a popular choice for diamonds as well.

Emerald cut diamond engagement rings are a type of step cut, one where the facets actually look like "steps" carved into the gem. As opposed to a brilliant cut, the facets are broad with flat planes resembling the steps of a stair. That's why it is referred to as a "step" cut. Unlike the Marquise brilliant, there is no bow-tie effect on an emerald cut diamond.

Some people are confused with the Emerald Cut, Asscher, or the Princess. To make it clearer, these cuts all look similar, but knowledgeable consumers can easily spot the differences. Emerald cuts are long rectangles with only slightly cropped corners. Asscher cuts are squares with deeply trimmed corners while Princess cuts are squares without any trimming.
