Emerald Cut Engagement Rings

The emerald cut engagement ring is a timeless and elegant choice, known for its sleek, linear design and step-cut facets. Its distinctive rectangular shape, with trimmed corners and a large table, creates a captivating "hall of mirrors" effect that beautifully reflects light in a subtle, sophisticated way. This cut complements a variety of ring styles, offering a versatility to suit any look.

When selecting an emerald cut ring, consider the 4Cs—cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight, Emerald/step cut diamonds offer a more subdued, elegant appearance, highlighting the stone's clarity and colour. Originating in the Art Deco period, this cut has a timeless, vintage charm that complements both classic and contemporary jewellery designs. Its refined aesthetic and enduring appeal make the emerald cut a perfect symbol of love, cherished for a lifetime.

Schedule an exclusive consultation online or in person at our showroom in Hessle near Hull, here you will be able to touch and feel our different models whilst enjoying a complimentary glass of champagne or a chilled bottle of beer.

FAQs

Can I get my ring resized if it doesn’t fit?

Yes, you can get your ring resized free with Joshua James’ ring resizing service. Even with the best efforts, getting someone’s ring size right is notoriously tricky! Our ring resizing service gives you peace of mind that even if it’s not perfect the first time, you’ll still have the right ring for popping the question.

How do I know the diamond in my engagement ring is real?

Buying an engagement ring is a big investment both emotionally and financially, so you want to be sure you’re getting exactly what you’ve picked out. At Joshua James, all of our rings come with a diamond certificate. This verifies the diamond’s authenticity, characteristics and background so you can feel confident when you buy from us. With regards to the ring itself, in the UK it is illegal to sell or describe any item as Gold, Silver, Platinum or Palladium unless it is hallmarked. Our precious metals are tested and hallmarked by the Birmingham assay office so you can be assured of their legitimacy.

What is the best metal for an engagement ring?

Any of our precious metals make a perfect setting for your selected diamond! Choosing the best metal for your engagement ring depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and the qualities you're looking for in the ring. Yellow gold and rose gold have their own character and aesthetic appeal, but choosing between white gold and platinum can be a harder decision. If you're looking for durability and minimal maintenance, Platinum is often considered the best option. However, white gold has a slightly warmer hue, is a lighter metal which many find more comfortable, and gold as a whole is steeped in heritage. Discover the characters, properties and cultural significances of each metal with our metals guide.
