An emerald-cut diamond is one of the most popular styles of engagement rings, with a rectangular stone and cut corners. Based on their long, elegant body alone, it’s easy to see their high appeal!

Due to its long lines the diamond reflects broader and more dramatic flashes of light and is less fiery than brilliant cut diamonds.

Emerald cut Diamond Engagement Ring Buying Tips

When buying an emerald cut diamond as an engagement ring it’s important that you ensure quality by selecting the highest-grade stone you can afford.

As an emerald has fewer facets then the brilliant cut, its flaws and colour weaknesses are more visible.

As the emerald cut diamond is not as popular as the princess cut and round diamonds, their prices are much lower, generally making them more affordable.

We recommend that cut grade of an emerald diamond should be graded “good” at a minimum, the lowest colour grade should be G and the minimum clarity grade should be VS2. We also suggest that you choose a carat weight 0.50ct and higher.

If you have or are considering an emerald-cut engagement ring then you’re in good company as they’ve become a celebrity favourite in recent years – with celebrities including Nicola Peltz, Paris Hilton and Beyoncé sporting the classic style.
