Emerald Cut Diamond Engagement Rings
Featuring long straight facets and a symmetrical design, emerald cut engagement rings are a classic choice for the modern woman. They offer a look that’s a bit different than a standard round or cushion cut diamond, with an elongated, rectangular shape that looks stunning on slender fingers.
Emerald cut diamond engagement rings have withstood the test of time – dating back to the 16th century – and are an elegant choice for ageless appeal. Commanding attention, emerald cut diamonds generally contain 57 facets which create a hall of mirrors effect (as opposed to the classic sparkle), dancing playfully for the wearer.
While this cut was typically reserved for emeralds, jewelers quickly realized that the linear facets showcased the clarity and color of diamonds in a remarkable way, adopting the step cut for engagement ring stones. For this reason, emerald cut engagement rings are a unique choice for sophisticated grandeur, acting as a truly remarkable token of a partner’s love.

This results in more flashes of light versus traditional glimmer, showing off the clarity and color of the stone.

Emerald cut diamonds fall in the mid-range price point – they’re a comparable price to cushion or princess cut diamonds and generally more affordable than brilliant cuts like round, oval, and pear shapes of the same carat weight.
What carat is best for an emerald cut engagement ring?
Traditional emerald cut engagement rings often have a center stone between 1 and 2 carats; however, this can vary greatly based on personal preference and budget. Due to the rectangular nature of emerald cut diamonds, they can appear larger than various cuts with the same carat weight, making it easy to size down a little bit.
When choosing emerald cut engagement rings, the length to width ratio can also be a consideration to ensure the stone isn’t too bulky when sitting on the finger. We preselect all of our emerald cut stones to ensure the optimal ratio for a glamorous appearance.
What metal should I choose for an emerald cut engagement ring?
White gold and platinum are the best metals for emerald cut diamond engagement rings, as the pale hue shows off the stunning qualities of the diamond. Though for an ethereal, classic look, yellow gold can be a stunning match for an emerald cut engagement ring.

Is radiant or emerald cut better?
Radiant and emerald cut diamonds are similar in shape but offer different qualities.
Radiant cut diamonds are the preferred option if you’re searching for more sparkle and fire, as the 70 facets are triangular in shape and stem out from the center of the stone. Compare this to clean cut emerald diamonds, which have 57 step-cut linear facets that offer more subtle brilliance for the hall of mirrors effect.
While both shapes can make the diamond appear larger than a round brilliant cut, a radiant cut diamond is better for sparkle, while an emerald cut offers geometric elegance.

Some of the most popular include Grace Kelly’s jaw dropping 10.48 emerald cut Cartier diamond, Elizabeth Taylor’s 30 carat cut, and Beyonce’s showstopping 24 carat emerald cut ring. For a more subtle display, icons like Jennifer Lawerence, Anne Hathaway, and Kristen Bell all sport this diamond shape with a more parred-back 3 to 6 carat stone.
