5 Carat Emerald Cut Diamond

Emerald cut diamonds in the 5-carat range are an elegant choice for engagement rings. 5-carat emerald cut diamonds also work exceptionally well in custom jewelry, such as earrings and solitaire pendants. If you’re looking for a sparkly diamond, an emerald cut diamond may not be right for you - the large facets of this shape means that clarity tends to be its defining feature, as opposed to the sparkle of a brilliant cut. However, they do produce flashes of light that create a hall of mirrors effect. If you are purchasing an emerald cut diamond engagement ring but want to add more sparkle, choose a classic diamond band or a halo setting.
Often, customers who want to maximize their diamond’s beauty will choose a higher clarity grade in lieu of a larger carat size. In most cases, is important to choose a clarity grade of at least VS1 because emerald cut diamonds will show inclusions more obviously than other diamond shapes. Keep in mind that the emerald cut diamond can be square or rectangular. A length to width ratio of 1.00 – 1.03 is excellent for a square emerald, while a 1.40 – 1.50 is best for a rectangle.
Before purchasing your 5-carat emerald cut diamond, make sure to request HD imagery of your diamond. All Ritani earth-grown diamonds are certified by either the AGS or GIA – the two most respected independent grading labs in the world.
