2.25 CT Emerald-Cut Natural Diamond, I Color, SI1 Clarity

This loose diamond is an emerald cut natural stone weighing 2.25 carats. The emerald cut is a step cut, with long parallel facets and trimmed corners that create a quiet, open table rather than the concentrated sparkle of a brilliant cut. The effect is a series of broad flashes and a clear view into the stone.

The diamond is graded I in color, placing it in the near-colorless range, and SI1 in clarity. At 2.25 carats, the elongated outline reads larger on the hand than its weight might suggest, and the rectangular shape suits solitaire settings, three-stone designs and bezel mountings equally well.

Because the stone is sold loose, it can be set as you prefer. Emerald cuts pair naturally with clean metalwork, where the geometry of the cut carries the design. They also sit comfortably alongside tapered baguettes or smaller step cut side stones.

Each loose diamond is selected individually, so the character of the stone can be considered before a setting is chosen.
