3 carat emerald cut lab-grown diamonds
Emerald cuts from 3.00 to 3.49 carats for statement rings and bespoke pieces.
A 3 carat emerald cut is a classic statement stone. The long table and wide step facets give a calm, glassy look that is very different from the sparkle of a large round, and customers who want it usually know exactly why. At this weight the stone sets the design, so start from the setting the client has in mind and choose the ratio to suit it.
Everything is magnified. The table is wide enough to show the smallest crystal or feather, and body colour builds up across the length of the stone. For a stone this visible, many jewelers choose the top colour and clarity grades and still review images before committing. Compare several candidates side by side; small differences in symmetry, such as a corner cut slightly larger than the others, are easy to spot.
Spread matters too. A deep 3 carat emerald can face up like a much lighter stone, so check the measurements and the depth percentage on the report. Every certified stone carries an IGI or GIA report and a laser inscription. We supply jewelers, retailers and manufacturers only, from our Los Angeles office.

What grades do buyers choose for a 3 carat emerald cut?
Often the top colour and clarity grades, since the wide step-cut table shows colour and inclusions clearly at this weight.
Why check depth on a large emerald cut?
A deep stone carries weight below the girdle and faces up smaller than its carat weight suggests.
