Emerald Cut Engagement Rings
The emerald-cut diamond evokes a tradition of artistry and nostalgia. Its step-cut facets allow for a stunning glimpse into the symmetrical center of the gemstone. Like a hall of mirrors, the parallel surfaces are strong and reflective, giving the light a place to play inside the stone. The rectangular shape is softened by its cut corners, allowing for a bold yet elegant silhouette. Explore our selection of emerald-cut moissanite and lab-grown diamond engagement rings.
A Centuries-Old Story
The emerald-cut moissanite engagement ring displays one of the oldest diamond cuts in the world. In the 16th century, stonecutters originally used the emerald faceting pattern on green emeralds; this cut reduced the amount of pressure on the softer, more brittle emeralds and allowed them to be successfully cut without breaking. Eventually, diamond cutters began experimenting with the stunning emerald cut and adopted the style.
Reminiscent of the 1920s art deco movement, the emerald-cut lab diamond engagement ring features geometric shapes, parallel lines, and symmetry. We imagine Daisy Buchanan might have worn an emerald-cut engagement ring to one of Gatsby’s parties, along with her other shimmering, decorative accessories. An emerald-cut diamond is vintage inspired with a modern simplicity.

What is the difference between emerald-cut and radiant-cut diamonds?
The main difference between radiant-cut and emerald-cut diamonds is how they sparkle and reflect light. An emerald-cut lab-grown diamond or moissanite engagement ring has a more subtle sparkle due to the symmetrical silhouette, clean, parallel lines, large table, and step-cut facets.
As the name implies, radiant-cut diamonds boast a scintillating, fiery brilliance due to their distinctive facet patterns. Radiant-cut diamonds have a dazzling sparkle reminiscent of round-cut diamonds but with a rectangular shape.
What wedding bands pair well with emerald-cut engagement rings?
Because many emerald-cut diamond ring designs feature a bold center stone, some people choose a wedding band with a simple, streamlined style. On the other hand, others enjoy the look of two or more bold rings stacked together.
You should also consider how the wedding band will fit when paired with your emerald-cut moissanite engagement ring. A straight wedding band will fit seamlessly with higher-set center stones, while a contoured wedding band can bend around a lower-set center stone, allowing the emerald-cut moissanite ring to sit closely against the wedding band. Similarly, an open wedding band style can make room for the center stone of your engagement ring, creating a seamless stacked look.
