Diamonds Knowledge

Marquise shaped diamonds can help to elongate the look of a finger when it is mounted on a ring setting. The fingers will appear slimmer and more slender. The shape of a marquise diamond can also maximise its carat weight, giving you a much larger-looking diamond. This  brilliant-cut  diamond looks beautiful when set just by itself, or with round or pear-shaped side stones. The desirable length-to-width ratio of a marquise shaped diamond is between   1.75 and 2.25. Marquise Cut Diamonds

Emerald cut is unique in its pavilions, which are cut with rectangular facets to create a unique optical appearance. Due to its larger, open table, this shape highlights the clarity of a diamond. If you choose an emerald-cut with a lower clarity grade, such as SI, be sure to review the clarity reference diagram on the diamond certificate. Emerald-cut diamonds can also vary greatly in how rectangular they are. If you prefer an emerald cut with a squared look, try to look for an Asscher-cut diamond instead.  For a classic emerald-cut shape, look for emerald cut diamonds with length-to-width ratios from somewhere between 1.30 and 1.40.  Emerald Cut Diamonds
