Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

An emerald cut is a rectangular diamond with cropped corners and long, parallel step facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect. Instead of intense sparkle, it produces broad flashes of light and dark that highlight clarity and clean geometry. The shape is known for its refined, understated elegance.

Step-cut faceting uses long, linear facets arranged in parallel rows from the table to the pavilion. These facets create crisp reflections rather than scattered sparkle. Because this pattern reveals inclusions more easily, many people choose higher clarity grades for emerald cuts.

Thin solitaires and bezel settings emphasize the stone’s clean lines and proportions. Emerald cuts also work beautifully in toi et moi designs, East-West settings that place the stone horizontally, and burnished styles where accent diamonds sit flush in the band for subtle detail.

Emerald cuts have large, open facets that make inclusions easier to see than in brilliant cuts. Many people choose VS2 or higher to achieve a stone that looks clean without magnification. Our concierge team can show you specific diamonds and explain how clarity characteristics appear in each one.
