Both these cuts have their pros and cons and comparing them can be like comparing apples to oranges. If you aren’t sure which to choose, here’s a look at their pros and cons.
Step Cut
Pros: Step cuts emphasize the diamond’s clarity, and their sleek, elegant look make them perfect for modern brides. They’re ideal for all types of jewelry settings, and especially complement Art Deco styles. They tend to be more affordable as they use up more of the diamond rough.
Cons: Don’t choose a step cut if you want the sparkle factor. Auch, you will need to focus on the quality of the diamond, as step cuts tend to show inclusions and color quite clearly.
