Emerald (as well as Asscher cuts) are a class of diamond cuts known as “step cuts.”

According to Wikipedia: Stones whose outlines are either square or rectangular and whose facets are rectilinear and arranged parallel to the girdle are known as step- or trap-cut stones.

Among diamond shapes, only 3% are emerald cut, making them a particularly unique and distinctive.

Some other perks to emerald cut gems?

Emerald cut rings makes the gem appear larger. Since more of the gem’s surface area is exposed (on average, an emerald cut has a 5% greater surface area than a 1 carat round cut diamond, for instance), the top surface of an emerald cut diamond appear larger.

Emerald cuts make fingers appear more slender. Because emerald cut diamonds are more elongated, they give the illusion of longer, more slender fingers.

Emerald cuts are more affordable. (Yes, we saved the best for last!) Since they are a more unusual cut than princess-cut or round cut gems, they’re also in less demand and more cost efficient.

Rose gold has surged in popularity in the last few years. And its no surprise to us. There’s a warmth invitation to its hue that’s unmistakable and eye-catching. When it comes to engagement rings, it color often evokes feelings of love and romance (as opposed to the cooler shades of platinum, for instance).

Other benefits of rose gold?

Rose gold is a durable metal, more so than yellow or white gold.

Rose gold is affordable.

Rose gold complements just about all skin tones.

One of the few drawbacks of rose gold? It’s not hypoallergenic so wouldn’t be an ideal choice for those with skin sensitivities.

Channel settings are a classic, clean look (like our recent custom designed channel set bracelet below), where the gems are placed in a channel and seamlessly linked together. This provides a flow (like a channel of water) and perfectly balanced symmetry to the bracelet. Grooves on both walls hold the gems securely in place.

If there’s a channel set bracelet or ring that you have dancing around in your head, share it with us and we’ll turn it into a wearable reality.

Padparadscha sapphires sound as wonderfully exotic as they look. Named after the color of a lotus blossom, the pinkish orange hue of these stones are mesmerizing and unique.

Let’s get the pronunciation out of the way (since its probably one of the most difficult gems to pronounce):

Pad-pah-raj-ah

The name is derived from the Sinhalese word for the Lotus blossom. The Sinhalese are the largest ethnic group in Sri Lanka where most Padparadscha sapphires are found.

Padparadschas are among the rarest gems on the planet. They are a unique mix of pink and orange. To be named a Padparadscha, the gem should exhibit both colors.
