WHAT MAKES A DIAMOND SPARKLE. Brilliance is an essential attribute of a beautiful diamond and has 2 components; brightness and contrast. Bright diamonds return lots of light from the surroundings back up through the crown to a 'face up' observer. If light from above leaks out the back of a diamond, naturally it has less brightness.
Consequently, emerald cut diamonds (and all step cut diamonds, for that matter) are likely to be less brilliant and appear less sparkly than round brilliant cut diamonds. However, what an emerald cut diamond lacks in brilliance, it makes up for in quality. An emerald cut is designed to highlight a diamond's clarity and its color. Since an emerald cut is so shallow, inclusions, blemishes and color impurities will be painfully visible. Therefore, only diamonds with the highest Clarity and Color grades will be cut into an emerald shape. Emerald cut diamonds are understandably less versatile than round brilliant cut diamonds. Emerald cut diamond's square shape is more limiting than the classical round brilliant shape.
