This glamorous diamond cut is as elegant as they come.

Emerald-cut engagement rings are about as elegant as they come. With their elongated rectangular shape and step-like internal facets, an emerald-cut stone is one that's both timeless and sure to make a statement. It's no wonder Beyoncé has been toting around a massive emerald-cut diamond on a split shank band ever since she and Jay Z tied the knot in 2008. And she's not the only celebrity who favors this beautiful engagement ring style: Jennifer Lopez recently received a 15-carat emerald-cut diamond ring from fiancé Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lawrence wears an emerald-cut diamond from her new fiancé Cooke Maroney. In short, if you choose this pretty stone, you're in good company.
Emerald-cut engagement rings are not only supremely sophisticated, but they're also incredibly stylish. A solitaire emerald-cut diamond stands out on any metal, but the cut also looks great enveloped by a glistening halo or when paired with side stones. The latter option is a popular choice. Many women who wear an emerald-cut engagement choose a three-stone setting, anchoring center diamond (or any other stone they favor) with trillion cuts, pear cuts, baguette cuts, or even other emerald cuts for an ultra-glamorous finish. If glam isn't what you're going for, know that it's not your only option. Because an emerald cut's internal facets are so geometric, they are a natural choice for a vintage-inspired look, and work especially for those who want an Art Deco style.
While the step facets of an emerald-cut diamond make it less brilliant than a round or princess-cut gem, they are considered far more rare and therefore have a one-of-a-kind feel. Plus, you can get an emerald-cut ring in a smaller carat size and it will still look larger than a round- or princess-cut stone in the same size thanks to its larger surface area. Bonus: Its elongated shape is slimming.
An emerald-cut engagement ring is a surefire way to not only make a style statement, but rock a ring that feels truly unique. Click through to see some of our top emerald-cut picks.
