Like all engagement rings, an emerald cut is a timeless and classic way to symbolise love and devotion. Some also consider the emerald cut to represent clarity, an open heart and the strength of the love it celebrates.

As one of the most striking and timeless gem styles, emerald cuts have long been popular for engagement rings. The cut’s clean lines, beautiful clarity and impression of size have also made this style popular with celebrities.

With its elongated, rectangular shape, large table and step cuts, emerald cut diamonds tend to look bigger and more opulent than many other cuts. Particularly, the rectangular length gives the impression of greater size when worn, drawing the eye down the wearer’s finger.

A diamond’s ratio refers to the comparison of length to width, which is relevant as emerald cut diamonds have a rectangular shape. Generally, we consider a ratio of between 1.3 to 1.5:1 to be ideal.

Emerald cut engagement rings can be more expensive than other cuts, but it is not always the case. To take advantage of the cut’s large table, the diamonds used for emerald cut engagement rings are often those with a high level of clarity, which can make them more expensive in some cases.

While a higher clarity diamond can enhance the beauty of an emerald cut engagement ring, it's not necessary. The unique cut of emerald shapes can hide certain inclusions, making slightly lower clarity grades still visually appealing. However, for a more pristine and transparent appearance, opting for a higher clarity diamond is advisable.

Yes, a square emerald cut engagement ring exists, and is very similar to an Asscher cut (the two cuts are often confused for one another). This variation combines the distinctive step-cut faceting of an emerald cut with a square shape, offering a stylish and sophisticated choice for those seeking a distinctive engagement ring.

A 'step cut' in an emerald cut engagement ring refers to the faceting style where parallel facets are arranged in a step-like fashion. Unlike brilliant cuts with triangular facets, emerald cuts feature rectangular facets that create a subtle play of light, emphasizing clarity and showcasing the diamond's inherent beauty.
