What is an Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring?
Emerald diamond engagement rings feature an emerald shaped diamond as its centre stone. The emerald cut shape, as the name suggests, was originally designed to show off the beauty and inclusions (the “jardin”) of the Emerald gemstone. The shape translates just as well to showcase the clarity and colour of a diamond. Originating in the Art Deco period, this cut has a timeless, vintage charm that complements both classic and contemporary jewellery designs in any metal colour.
Why choose an emerald cut diamond engagement ring
With their sleek, linear facets, emerald shaped diamonds exude a refined, classic aesthetic that evoke a vintage art deco feel. Unlike brilliant cuts such as round or oval shaped diamonds which have the ability to mask inclusions, the step cut facets work as windows that highlight the diamonds clarity. The emerald’s elegant elongated shape enhances the finger's length, creating an elegant look on the hand - adding to their sophisticated charm.
How much is an emerald diamond engagement ring?
Emerald cuts tend to be more expensive than other shaped diamonds due to the time and skill needed to produce them correctly. Our emerald diamond engagement ring starts from around £800 for a VS2 Clarity, H graded colour. With that budget we would suggest a brilliant cut that will mask the Very Slight inclusion, or selecting a higher grade.
What should I look for when buying an Emerald diamond?
When choosing any diamond engagement ring it’s important to set your own personal budget and consider the 4Cs when selecting your diamond. With Emerald shaped diamonds clarity should be the priority followed by colour depending on your choice of metals. Bear in mind that the emerald shape’s long facets make the stone susceptible to picking up the hue of the metal so a high graded colour is more important if your emerald diamond is set on a platinum 950 or 18ct white ring. We recommend having a consultation or getting in touch with us.
