Emerald cut diamonds symbolize timeless love, strength and commitment, making them a classic choice for engagement rings. Those who choose an emerald cut engagement ring love its historic appeal, clean lines, and elegance. Opting for a lab-grown emerald cut diamond adds an extra layer of meaning, signifying a commitment to sustainability and a more eco-friendly world.

Emerald cut diamonds are generally more affordable than round cut diamonds, typically priced 15% to 25% lower for similar quality. However, their rarity makes them slightly more expensive compared to some other fancy diamond shapes.

The price of an Emerald cut engagement ring can vary widely based on carat weight, setting, and metal. The average cost of a 1-carat diamond ring (excluding all other “Cs”) is around $2,000. That price will go up or down depending on the diamond’s cut, clarity, and color.

Even though an Emerald is slightly elongated, it should pair well with most wedding ring styles and not snag or scratch. For ensured comfort, create your wedding ring stack with the help of a diamond expert. Most often, individuals choose to stack their Emerald cut engagement ring with a wedding band in a similar style, same metal color, or both.
