Emerald Engagement Rings

Emerald cut engagement rings have a rectangular outline with cropped corners and long, step-cut facets. Instead of fast sparkle they give broad flashes of light and a clean, mirrored look, so if you are looking at emerald styles you probably want quiet elegance and clear geometry.

• An elegant, architectural look: The step facets give an emerald cut its calm, Art Deco character.
• Strong style pairings: Compare emerald solitaire engagement rings or emerald three stone engagement rings.
• A horizontal option: Turned across the finger, an emerald cut suits east-west emerald engagement rings.
• Works across stone types: Narrow by material into lab grown diamond emerald rings or moissanite emerald rings.

Choosing an emerald cut engagement ring means paying more attention to clarity and to the proportions of the stone.

• Look closely at clarity: The open step facets behave like a window, so inclusions show more than they do in a brilliant cut.
• Choose the ratio: A length-to-width ratio around 1.40 to 1.55 reads classic, while a longer ratio feels more elongated.
• Pick the setting: A plain solitaire or a bezel lets the geometry read clearly.
• Read the background first: For clarity, colour and ratio in detail, read the emerald cut diamond guide, then use this page to compare rings.
