Choosing the Perfect Emerald Cut Engagement Ring
Key Considerations
Selecting the ideal emerald cut engagement ring requires careful thought and attention to detail. When choosing an emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, diamond quality is essential in addition to cut. Clarity is particularly important, as the large, open facets of the emerald cut highlight the diamond's clarity. To enhance the stone's brilliance, consider selecting a high clarity grade.
Color grades are another important consideration, as the open facets beautifully emphasize the stone’s natural hue. Opting for a diamond in the near-colorless or colorless range will provide a crisp, classic look. Additionally, consider the diamond size and length-to-width ratio, which affects the diamond’s appearance. A ratio between 1.30 to 1.50 offers a balanced, traditional look, while a higher ratio will result in a more elongated, slender shape, depending on personal preference.
