Collection: EMERALD CUT ENGAGEMENT RINGS

The cut of a diamond is crucial as it directly impacts the stone's brilliance, fire, and overall beauty. At Cushla Whiting, we understand that a well-cut diamond will display superior brightness, fire, and scintillation compared to one that is poorly cut. Our GIA Gemologist, Hamish Whiting, carefully selects diamonds using advanced techniques like ASET analysis to ensure optimal light performance. For emerald cut diamonds specifically, the precision of the step-cut facets is vital in creating the distinctive "hall of mirrors" effect that makes this shape so captivating.

An emerald cut engagement ring is an excellent choice for those seeking a sophisticated and timeless look. This elegant cut offers a unique blend of vintage appeal and modern geometry. At Cushla Whiting, we've seen a growing appreciation for emerald cut diamonds due to their sleek lines and ability to appear larger than other cuts of the same carat weight. They're particularly well-suited for those who prefer a more understated glamour over maximum sparkle. However, it's important to note that the open table of an emerald cut can make inclusions more visible, so selecting a high-quality stone is crucial.

An emerald cut engagement ring often symbolises elegance, sophistication, and confidence. The clean lines and step-cut facets of an emerald cut diamond reflect a sense of order and stability, making it a popular choice for those who appreciate structure and minimalism in design. Historically, the emerald cut has been associated with Art Deco style, symbolising modernity and forward-thinking. At Cushla Whiting, we find that many of our clients choose emerald cut rings as a representation of their refined taste and appreciation for architectural beauty.

Emerald cut engagement rings pair beautifully with a variety of wedding band styles. At Cushla Whiting, we often recommend the following options:

1. Simple bands: A plain, straight band in matching metal complements the clean lines of an emerald cut without competing for attention.
2. Channel-set bands: A band with channel-set baguette or princess cut diamonds echoes the linear nature of the emerald cut.
3. Pavé bands: For added sparkle, a pavé band can create a beautiful contrast to the step-cut facets of the emerald.
4. Contoured bands: If the emerald cut stone is set east-west or in a unique setting, a custom contoured band can be designed to fit perfectly alongside it.
5. Vintage-inspired bands: For those leaning into the Art Deco associations, a band with milgrain detailing or geometric patterns can enhance the vintage feel.

We offer bespoke wedding band design services to ensure your wedding ring perfectly complements your emerald cut engagement ring, creating a harmonious and personalised bridal set.
