As a shape, an emerald cut is a step cut: broad parallel facets and a flat table, which trades sparkle for clarity and a long, architectural flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this suit me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as a pair. Each earring carries about 1 ct; an emerald cut of that weight typically measures about 7 × 5 mm face-up (for scale, an Australian 5c coin is 19.4 mm across).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn the ear:\u003c\/strong\u003e A large stud with real presence. Emerald cut stones look a little larger than a round stone of the same weight. Their broad, flat facets give long flashes of light rather than sparkle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort and security:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw settings show the most stone but can catch on knitwear and fine hair. At this weight, a larger disc back helps the earrings sit upright on softer lobes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday wear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earrings take very little wear, so the softer, richer-coloured 18ct suits everyday wear here. The bright white finish is rhodium plating, which wears with daily contact and can be renewed by a jeweller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metals: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/18ct-yellow-gold-2ct-emerald-stud-earrings\"\u003e18ct yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/9ct-yellow-gold-2ct-emerald-stud-earrings\"\u003e9ct yellow gold\u003c\/a\u003e.
