Both are step cuts with parallel facets. The octagon cut has eight equal sides, while emerald cuts are rectangular with cropped corners. Octagon shapes appear more symmetrical when viewed from above.
Colored stones like amethyst, citrine, topaz, and peridot suit this cut because the open table shows color depth. Stones with good clarity look best, as inclusions are more visible in step cuts.
Durability depends on the stone. Topaz (Mohs 8) and quartz (Mohs 7) handle regular wear well. Softer stones require more care. All our rings use .925 sterling silver, which maintains its structure with normal use.
