Angelica Frey | May 31, 2023
An Emerald Eternity ring combines geometry, elegance, and sleekness. Thanks to the Emerald-cut diamonds featured on the band, it creates a coveted hall of mirrors effect thanks to its step-cut facets.
Given the North-South setting of each Emerald diamond and the substantial total carat weight, Emerald Eternity Bands can double both as engagement rings and wedding rings.

What is an Emerald Eternity Band?
An Emerald Eternity Band is an Eternity band featuring Emerald diamonds. An Eternity Band is a ring featuring a continuous line of identically cut diamonds fully encircling the finger. The style first acquired popularity in the 1960s. Common variations of the Eternity Emerald ring featuring VRAI created diamonds have twenty 0.25 ct Emerald diamonds for a total carat weight of 5 carats or sixteen 0.5 ct Emerald diamonds, for a total carat weight of 8 carats.
Can I wear an Emerald Eternity Band in a Stack?
An Emerald Eternity Band can absolutely be part of your stack. You just have to be mindful of the fact that it will have a slightly higher setting than other bands. Any ring can be the building block of a stack—even two different solitaires provided you orient the center diamond a little off center. Still, when it comes to stacking rings, an Emerald Eternity band featuring VRAI created diamonds has the stage presence of a main character, so it can easily be combined with thinner bands. If you want to pair it with an engagement ring, just wear your Emerald Eternity on another hand or another finger.

Can I wear an Emerald Eternity Band as an Engagement Ring?
An Emerald Eternity is one of the most popular choices when it comes to non-traditional engagement rings, and the combined carat weight of 5 or 8 carats makes it substantial enough to have heirloom quality. Other than its timeless design with a focus on lines and geometry, the Emerald Eternity ring also has beautiful symbolism, as it represents the eternity of one’s marriage and love story. In addition, you can always pair it with a sleek, lustrous wedding band.
What’s the difference between Emerald and Baguette Diamonds?
Baguette diamonds and Emerald diamonds are not the same type of diamond. They both have step-cut facets, which means they are arranged parallel lines to one another on all four sides of the diamond. Emeralds are rectangular diamonds with beveled corners and have 57 stones, and are used both as center diamonds and as side stones in three and multi-stone settings. Baguette diamonds are long and rectangular or tapered and feature 14 facets. They’re mostly used as side stones.
In the case of VRAI designed settings, an Emerald Eternity Band has an U-prong setting and a total carat weight of 5 or 8 carats. A Baguette Bar Band and a Baguette Devotion Band has horizontally-oriented Baguette diamonds.
