Individuals can buy loose emerald cut diamonds to replace lower quality stones from antique jewelry. Art deco and antique pieces often employed the rectangular cut, while the brilliant cut is more popular than the emerald cut today. Depending on the size and shape of loose emerald cut diamonds, they may also be reshaped to craft more popular styles for incorporation into different designs or to increase their values.
Features of Loose Emerald Cut Diamonds
In addition to their rectangular shape, these diamonds also have truncated corners. This is done to strengthen the stone, as sharp corners are points of weakness where the stone may develop a fracture. These diamonds also emphasize the clarity of the stones rather than the brilliance or fire. As a result, even the slightest imperfections can be identified with ease. While these flaws may not appear as severe in other shapes, the large, flat surfaces make it possible to spot them in emerald cut stones with the naked eye. When selecting a loose stone for a ring or a pair of stones for earrings, buyers should examine certifications and consider placing more weight on clarity than on the other dimensions. Those who want the largest loose stone as possible may need to trade off on the color rating to stay within their budgets.
