A 1-carat emerald-cut diamond is perfect for you if you love clean lines that shine through the step cuts. This cut is the ideation of sophistication and elegance with a powerful “hall of mirrors” look. While buying this fancy elongated shape, one should prioritise the clarity from the 4 C’s to avoid visible inclusions. Buying within a 1.35 to 1.50 length-to-width ratio is recommended for a slightly elongated diamond shape.
