In gemology, emerald denotes both a gemstone and a way of cutting a precious gemstone. Both are sought – after for their characteristic of balance. Approaching new beginnings with an open heart, enthusiasm and a sense of harmony – this is balance. Emerald, one of the three precious gems prized by royalty for millennia, is believed to bring balance to its wearer. Emeralds are often cut in emerald cuts to maximize their beauty. The shape that embodies balance is the emerald cut. Its symmetrical, rectangular, step cut shape, precision angles and finely cut corners, result in a centered and balanced shape, whose elegance steals the show. Sometimes, Le Vian adds extra dazzle to the traditional emerald cut by adding a checkerboard top. Others, Le Vian rounds the sides, creating a cushion cut. The emerald cut also features in Le Vian’s luminous halo designs, encircling a jewel’s center stone. Le Vian’s Costa Smeralda Emeralds™ are known for their prized deep greens and are fashioned in emerald cuts as well as other shapes.
