My future fiance is set on the ring as picture in the image file. However she wants it with a square shapes emerald, cause she likes the glassy looks of emeralds. She does not want a rectangular emerald cause she thinks it would look bad with this ring. Is there such a thing as a square shaped emerald cut diamonds? All the jewelers I talk to tell me I want a radiant cut when I ask for a square shape emerald. I have seen something called a Asscher cut, but they seem to be very exspensive and out of my price range. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John Bryant

Yes, you can find a square shape Emerald cut diamond. If you are looking on line, call someone at the site you are looking at and ask them to find you one. If you are B&M shopping, you may have to keep looking until you find someone who knows what you are talking about. They are out there, just keep looking. The one problem I see....If she wants this type of ring, it may have to be custom made to accomadate an Emerald. Shouldn't be that big of a deal though. Good luck. |

Thanks for the info guys. One more question, would this be considered a square emerald cut? I guess I'm not sure how to read measurements what oreder they are in: Height,width,length and all. Carat: 1.02 Color: G Clarity: VS1 Measurements: 5.98*5.02*3.53 Depth: 70.30 Table: 65 Culet: N Polish: G Symmet: G |

L/W = 1.19, so the stone is 20% longer than it is wide...not a square cut. |

What percentage wise would be considered square? I have seen for princess cut there is even a 1%-15% difference. I have found one that is 6.64 x 6.06 x 3.39 emerald or roughly 10%. Thanks, John |

are often cut square, so that the length and width are the same. Sometimes you can find a square, or nearly square, emerald cut, but not often. |

Well, here's what a rectangular emerald looks like with this ring (Jeff Cooper Style No. 2990, vs. the 2964 you posted). Has she seen this one?  [Edited by ccb on 06-26-01 at 04:57 PM] |

Yes she has seen the lot #2990. However, she likes the thickness of the #2964 however she wants a square emerald cause of the square shape of the #2964 as pictured in original post. Complicated? YES. This has shown me how complicated furniture will be in the near future. Thanks, John |

Phew, good luck! I'm taking an easier and riskier route: I'm choosing the ring myself without my girlfriend's input. (Gulp!) Well, I have asked some questions and paid a lot of attention to what she likes. This will be a big surprise, though. I'm getting the 2964 in a high polish finish (not the two-tone with satin). I guess she'll get to pick the furniture. |

Question for the pros

Is it easier to find a glassy (poorly cut) radiant square, or a square emerald cut? |

It is easier for me to find poorly cut Radiants. Honestly, stick with a better cut Emerald. I love Radiants, but if you are after the "glassy" look, go with the Emerald cut. |

Just kidding, guys!

Hey CCB, I tried to e-mail you, however I couldn't via diamondring.com. I was just wondering who you were going through for your ring. So if you see this you can e-mail me at jabryant76@hotmail.com Thanks, John |

Not sure what your budget is but here are a couple a little more square: 1.04 F VVS2 64.3D 65.0T 6.19*5.49*3.53 for a L:W of 1.12 (it has slight flourescence though) and 1.02 G VVS2 65.3D 68.0T 6.22*5.53*3.61 for a L:W of 1.12 and 1.11 D VS1 62.8D 61.0T 6.40*5.59*3.57 for a L:W of 1.14 and 1.08 F VS1 61.0D 69.0T 6.27*5.92*3.61 for a L:W of 1.06 and 1.0 E VS1 60.1D 62.0T 5.78*5.77*3.47 it doesnt get much more square than this one. I am sure if you look long enough, that you should be able to find something pretty close. I think your best bet would be online though, as brick and mortar stores dont seem to have a good selection of emerald cuts. |

Jeff Cooper setting - price

I remember a recent thread on that Jeff Cooper setting, it was around $1200. You can find it for less, if not by Jeff Cooper, by someone else. It seems everyone is reproducing it these days. |

Square Cut Emerald
Hi jabryant76- I think that a square cut emerald is possible. When I was looking for my ring, one of the things I noticed in looking at the fancies princesses, radiants, and emeralds, is that that there is no standard length to width ratio. At one point I was going to get a rectangular emerald, and have it set in an atypical way. As in the length (long) end would be set along my finger. When I asked, I was told that in these cuts there are no standards. So if that's what she wants, I'll bet it's around.  |
