Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

As you are inching closer to making your beloved partner yours forever, you must be looking for the ideal cut of diamond for an engagement ring. In the sparkling worlds of numerous cuts and shapes of diamonds, one stands apart and true to their beauty. We are talking about enigmatic emerald cut rings.

Emerald cut still has our hearts pounding since its invention in the 1500s, when stonecutters actually created it for the green emerald gem. This specific cut grew in popularity because there was a lack of pressure during the cutting process. Regardless, the name “emerald cut” was not used to describe the shape until the 1920s. Emerald cuts soared in popularity during the Art Deco era; from then on, they have always captured the hearts of many people. The cut also stands out from the crowd in the sense that you can spot one wearing an emerald cut diamond ring and also pick them out in all the red carpet pictures of your favorite celebrities too!

Why do you think successful actresses and artists like Amal Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Elizabeth Taylor, and Beyoncé wear emerald cut diamond rings and jewelry? Well, for starters, the strong and dramatic geometry of the shape lures many people into the appeal of this cut.

There are two variations of emerald cut diamonds, one is the elongated version and the other is the nearly square one. It is the former one that has captured the hearts of many because of its slender and more stately appearance. The step-cut and long parallel facets sink people in, while its cut corners add a layer of durability and resistance to it. Emerald cut diamonds do not have tiny triangle facets that ovals, rounds, and marquises have. Instead, these dazzlers have a hall-of-mirror-like effect to them, where all facets reflect each other across the pavilion of the stone. Also, the open table of this cut lets you look closely and clearly into the diamond. When you turn an emerald cut diamond, you will see the entire stone flash a radiant light.
