They’re elegant. Subdued. Understated. They’re emerald cut engagement rings.

Are most of the engagement ring inspo pics saved on your phone emerald cut? 

Let’s figure out why. 

The cut, radiant vs emerald, budget!

Let’s talk about it.

I mean, being a rectangle is a great description of the cut – but there’s so much more to it than that!

We’re going to give you the specific language so you can describe the stone you love with ease. 

Emerald Cut Diamond Rings - The Cut.

Out of all the fancy shapes, emerald cut is the most subtle in its orientation of cut. 

The emerald cut is a step cut. What does this meeeaaaaan?!

You’re going to see long lengthwise mirror paneling cut into the stone, which allows you to really see internally into the stone. Where you’re going to see a bit of sparkling is more on the perimeter. 

What makes this stone so unique and icicle-esque, is that you’re seeing the stone in its entirety cleanly. 

 

What An Emerald Cut Is NOT.

The emerald cut is not a high sparkle stone. If you have been wanting an elongated shape with maximum sparkle – emerald may not be the one. Emerald cuts give off a glass-like quality. The stone has a transparent body, and is very solid and consistent throughout.

Is Emerald Cut Better than Radiant?

radiant vs emerald cut engagement rings

Mariam compares the stones to music – if emerald cut engagement rings are classical, then the radiant cut is jazz. If you think about a radiant cut –  there are so many facets partying together, bouncing and refracting light off one another. It’s busy, there’s movement, it’s magnetic. It sounds like: “Beep Boop Bap Boop Bap” according to our co-founder Mariam Song 😎

Radiants

Things To Consider With emerald cut engagement rings.

Since you can see internally into the stone, you will need to go higher in color and clarity. This stone is so transparent that if there are more inclusions or has color in the stone, it’ll to be super visible. Because the stone’s allure is that glass slipper essence, inclusions and color variations will interfere with that effect! 

Hey, don’t worry. If this is a concern for you this isn’t the end of your engagement ring dream! Read on 😌

Budget.

To maintain that icicle, glass-like essence of the emerald – you’re going to be paying a higher premium. If your goal is to maximize budget for the size of the stone for your engagement ring, the radiant cut gives you room to go lower in color and clarity while maxing out on size. All that majestic sparkle in the radiant is going to camouflage any kind of inclusion within the stone. With radiants you get sparkle and size! 

Annnnd that’s the emerald cut!

So, are you feeling more sure than ever that the emerald is THE stone for you? Or starting to lean toward a radiant…even a different cut? Let’s talk about it.
