Emerald Cut Engagement Ring/Diamond Ring Buying Guide

Whether you’re looking for a ring with an emerald cut diamond for an engagement ring or for any purpose, I am here to help you make your purchase. My goal is to help you get the best ring for your money. I will give you some guidelines (that are specific to the emerald cut!) to make sure that you get a high-quality diamond, and I’ll also reveal the best stores for diamond ring shopping.

Here’s the first step: Find a reliable jeweler that has a good selection of emerald cut diamond rings. James Allen has proved to be deserving of my #1 recommendation. They have an A+ rating from the BBB (Better Business Bureau), 5-star rating from iVouch, and an outstanding rating from BizRate.

And now, the second step: Make sure that you get a high-quality diamond. Follow these simple guidelines for emerald cut diamonds and you’ll know that you’re getting the best diamond possible.

  • The cut should be “TrueHearts, “”Ideal” or “Premium”. A cut that is “good” can also make a nice ring if budget is tight. However, the cut is the most important characteristic, so I recommend getting the best cut you can.
  • The color should be D,E, F, or G. H is also acceptable, but don’t go below that.  Don’t spend the extra money for a D color diamond – they are supposed to be the most colorless, but the difference is rarely, if ever, visible.
  • The clarity should be F, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, or VS2.

Here are some more optional, additional criteria. Click on the “more search options” button to see these extra options when you’re looking through the diamond selection.

  • Depth should be 60% to 65%.
  • Table should be 58% to 65%.
  • Polish and symmetry should be “excellent”, “very good”, or “good”.

Follow these guidelines and you can be sure that you’re going to get a beautiful diamond ring!

Of course, the third step is to select your setting, after you’ve selected the diamond. Add the diamond to the ring, and then the choices for settings will come up. Browse through the settings until you find one that you want for your ring. Then, just select the ring size and you’ll be ready to check out!
