The Emerald Cut Faceted Gem Weight calculator computes the approximate carat
weight of an Emerald Cut Faceted colored stone (e.g. Ruby).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (GEM) Choose Gem Type
- (L) the length down the face of the gem
- (W) the width across the face of the gem
- (D) the depth of the gem
- (B) percent adder for the bulge (default 0%)
Emerald Cut Gem Weight (Wt): The calculator returns the weight estimate in carats. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The weight of a emerald cut gem is a function the volume and the specific gravity. The volume is estimated base on the gem's shape and dimensions. The specific gravity is dictated by the type of gem. For the specific gravity of different gem, CLICK HERE.

ACCURACY COMPARISON
The carat weight equations and data used in vCalc's jewelry library and calculator were reviewed by a certified gemologist. The equations are based on industry recognized formulas and data. The table below shows a comparison of computations between vCalc and an industry accepted application (Quantum Leap).
The length, width and depth are in millimeters (mm), and the Quantum Leap and vCalc measurements are in carats (cwt).
The largest variance, an oval faceted alexandrite, which can be seen in the last row above, has been double checked against several source equations which tend to support vCalc's accuracy.
