All About Emerald Cut Diamonds for Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

Looking for an elegant diamond that can be styled as modern or vintage? An emerald cut might be the perfect choice! 

Emerald cut diamonds are typically a rectangular shape with beveled corners and parallel, step cut facets (concentric, broad, flat planes that resemble stair steps). The step cut facets are more subtle than the brilliant facet structure of princess cut diamonds, and can provide wider flashes of light. Emerald cut diamonds are perfect if you’re looking for understated beauty.

Emerald cut diamonds can be set either vertically or horizontally (east/west).

Fun fact! The emerald cut was originally created for emerald gemstones, hence the name. Emerald cut diamonds became increasingly popular in the Art Deco era of the early 1900s and depending on the setting can create a ring with a vintage/Art Deco look.
