An emerald cut diamond features one of the oldest shapes of precious stone, tracing back to the 16th century. The emerald cut was originally created for cutting emerald gemstones, but eventually cutters took notice of this stunning shape and applied it to all types of precious gemstones. Emerald cut diamonds offer a different type of beauty from classic round cut diamonds – they exhibit exceptional clarity and make for a distinctive look when set in fine jewelry. The facets of an emerald cut diamond are rectilinear, and this cut’s long, narrow facets produce a prismatic reflection as opposed to brilliance, evoking a house of mirrors or a staircase look.

Emerald cut diamonds pair beautifully with solitaire, halo, three-stone, and vintage-inspired engagement ring styles. Brilliant Earth offers these styles so you can choose a setting that complements the emerald cut’s clean lines and elegant facets.
