Emerald Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Emerald cut diamond engagement rings are popular in Adelaide with people who want a vintage, slightly old-world look, while keeping the sophistication and elegance of modernity. The range of Emerald cut ring designs varies widely, but the most popular is the simple Solitaire Emerald cut diamond ring. This is a single diamond in a four-claw setting on a band, the style of which can vary.

Emerald cut Halo ring designs are also quite popular as they still have the straight lines of an Emerald cut diamond, but they are softened off by the round diamonds surrounding it. Designs that employ Emerald cuts coupled with Baguette diamonds work extremely well, as both have the step-cut design (link?) for which Emerald cuts are known and admired.

Emerald cut diamonds come in different proportions, from very long, rectangular shapes to nearly square. The absolute square version of this cut actually comes under a different name, commonly known as the Asscher cut diamond. No matter what proportion, the signature of the Emerald cut diamond is the parallel flat surfaces that give large bar-like flashes of brilliance, compared to the round brilliant cut which has a large number of very small facets. The flat front surface of an Emerald cut lets you look into the stone and the large parallel back facets do not create a lot of interference, therefore enabling the viewer to clearly see into the stone. Any inclusions and unwanted particles are clearly visible, so it is extremely important to find a diamond that is without inclusions and is clean to the eye.
