An emerald cut engagement ring is an enchanted diamond shape because of its unique faceting pattern unlike the majority of diamond shapes. Their slender shape is said to lengthen the fingers, making them appear more slender, while giving off the look of a bigger diamond. Emerald cut engagement rings are particularly sought after for their Art Deco style elegance & timeless appeal.
Early emerald cut diamonds were first developed as a way to showcase the captivating clarity characteristics within an emerald gemstone. Emerald cut engagement rings are optimal for enhancing the colour in a coloured gemstone or diamond because of their larger top-view.
The step-cut faceting technique of an emerald cut diamond gives it what the industry calls a “hall of mirrors” effect. The faceting arrangement causes light to bounce off one another creating elegant sparkle. One thing to bear in mind when looking at Emerald cut Diamond engagement rings is that the way emerald cuts are faceted makes them a little unforgiving when it comes to clarity. In other words you can spot inclusions a little easier than with other cuts. This means you may want to for a VS1 or VS2 clarity rather than an SI1 or SI2.
