Emerald Engagement Rings
Frequently Asked Questions
Are emerald cut engagement rings popular?
Yes, emerald cut engagement rings are very popular among those who love a sophisticated and elegant look. The rectangular step-cut design highlights the clarity and brilliance of the gemstone, giving it a timeless and refined appeal. Emerald cuts are versatile, working beautifully with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds, and they suit both classic and modern ring settings, making them a favourite choice for couples seeking understated luxury.
Are emeralds good engagement rings?
Yes, emeralds make beautiful and unique engagement rings. Known for their rich green hue and timeless elegance. While slightly softer than diamonds or sapphires, ranking 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, they are durable enough for careful everyday wear. With the right setting and care, emerald engagement rings offer a striking, meaningful, and truly memorable choice.
What wedding band goes with an emerald engagement ring?
When choosing a wedding ring to pair with an emerald engagement ring, consider how much you want the centre stone to stand out. A sleek plain band in matching metal lets the emerald take centre stage and keeps the look refined. If your engagement ring features diamonds in the shoulders or halo, a diamond set wedding band can beautifully echo that sparkle and frame the emerald. For extra detail, consider a slim claw set or channel set band that adds light without overpowering the main ring. A shaped band can sit neatly around a lower setting and keep both rings comfortable.
