Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

Dating back to the 1500s and popularized during the 1920s Art Deco era, the emerald-cut diamond is a celebrity favorite renowned for its long, elegant lines and striking visual size. Here’s what you should know about this timeless style.

What is Emerald Cut?

Typically rectangular (1.50–1.75 ratio), the emerald cut is a step-cut "fancy shape" with a sleek, elongated look. Rather than the intense fire of a round brilliant, it offers a distinct, elegant sparkle—making it a unique, personal choice for an engagement ring.

What to Look for in an Emerald Cut Diamond Ring

Emerald cuts require higher clarity due to large, open facets, but they hide color well—letting you save by choosing a lower color grade. They are priced similarly to cushion cuts and slightly below princess cuts.

Aim for a 1.45–1.55 ratio for a classic elongated look, or 1.3 for a squarer shape. Jared’s Diamontologists can help you balance the 4 Cs for a stunning custom ring.
