Why are emeralds cut in squares?

1 Answer
Why are emeralds cut in squares?
Emeralds are frequently cut into squares due to their properties. Because they are brittle, the gemstones benefit from stronger rectangular and square shapes. Also, these cuts tend to hide the natural blemishes found in many emeralds. Shop a large selection of emerald gemstone jewelry on 1stDibs.
