An emerald-cut diamond doesn't sparkle so much as it flashes. The long, rectangular facets act like mirrors, creating bright, clean flashes of light. It’s a very deliberate and architectural look compared to the scattered fire of a brilliant-cut stone.

Your eye goes right to the emerald-cut centre diamond, held securely by four simple prongs. The band itself is lined with 24 small, round brilliant diamonds set in a French pavé style, which lets you see more of the stones from the side. The band is slim, about 2mm wide, and keeps its width all the way around, giving the centre stone all the attention. It has a bright, white, reflective finish.

We make this ring in either 14K or 18K solid gold. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, which means you get a strong, durable ring that stands up to daily wear. 18K is 75% pure gold, for those who prefer a higher gold content. We plate all our white gold pieces with rhodium, a bright white metal from the platinum family. This gives the ring its silvery colour and adds a layer of scratch resistance. You can choose a natural or lab-grown diamond for the centre stone.

People often choose this ring when they love the clean lines of an emerald cut but still want some extra light from the band. The pavé diamonds add that, but the band is kept thin so the ring feels delicate, not bulky. It's a way to get a classic look without it feeling too simple or stark.
