What Are Step Cut Diamonds?
Step cut diamonds are characterized by their unique faceting style. Instead of the traditional brilliance of round or cushion cuts, step cuts feature parallel facets that resemble steps, emphasizing clarity and luster.
Key Features of Step Cut Diamonds:
Geometric Faceting: Rectangular or square facets arranged in parallel rows.
Subtle Brilliance: A sophisticated sparkle rather than the intense fire of brilliant cuts.
Clarity Focused: Larger, open facets highlight the diamond’s internal clarity.
Popular Shapes: Common step cut shapes include emerald and Asscher cuts.
