O corte esmeralda é conhecido por seu formato retangular longo e elegante e cantos aparados. Sua beleza reside na capacidade de contrastar o claro e o escuro no diamante., resultando no efeito hall de espelhos pelo qual é famoso.
O corte Asscher é um corte quadrado com cantos aparados, giving it an octagonal look. It’s characterized by the windmill design seen across its surface.
The baguette cut is basically an emerald cut without the truncated corners. Em vez de, it has sharp pointed edges and a rectangular arrangement of facets. It’s typically used as accent stones. Baguette cuts don’t have much sparkle but is ideal to add detail and style to a ring design.
The Carre cut is a more unique, relatively unknown diamond cut. It’s essentially an Asscher without the truncated corners. As such, the Carre cut doesn’t have the famous windmills of the Asscher but instead displays a clear X shape across its surface. This diamond cut is ideal if you want something very different.
It’s generally said that these four step cuts are related in that the baguette cut is to the emerald cut what the Carre cut is to the Asscher cut.
