Specialized trades, such as a plumbing or electrical work, require licensing, so check with your local licensing agency to see if the handyman is properly licensed, should your project require one. If he or she isnât licensed, you'll need to hire a specialized contractor who is.
Depending on the shade of green, an emerald can very well cost more than a diamond! Emeralds that are a deep shade of green with good clarity can cost twice as much as a diamond of the same carat. Rachel Â· 3 years ago.
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.
