Today everyone prefers giving diamonds as a gift because it expresses your love and commitment for the person you love. Diamonds are known as a symbol of love.

There are several designs found in emerald cut engagement ring such as contemporary rings, bridal sets and unique styles. The most common setting is a classic four- prong arrangement. It gives steadiness to the stone while protecting the delicate edges.
It is often matched with accent stones due to their elongated shape, particularly tapered baguettes and other emerald cuts. An emerald cut solitaire ring can be very attractive and you can choose your ring according to your style. For a classic emerald cut the length-to-width ratio should range from 1.3:1 to not more than 1.75:1. But many people choose narrower or wider stones according to their style. Women with long, thin fingers can lengthen the stone even more.
Those who have short, thick fingers may appear out of proportion for rectangular shape. Before buying emerald cut engagement ring you should look for loose diamonds. This will help you to examine all sides of the gem for imperfections. You must be particular about quality and always go for high quality diamonds.
