Emerald-cut engagement rings are an intriguing choice because the large facets of the gemstone appear to let the viewer look inside the stone. The emerald-cut diamonds and gemstones, including sapphires, aquamarines, emeralds and rubies, are an oasis of calm, inviting the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the stone.
In the 1920s and 1930s, emerald-cut solitaire engagement rings in platinum became a popular Art Deco ring design. Emerald cut rings with baguettes featured the newly introduced rectangular baguette cut diamond, either in pairs next to the main stone or in a stepped configuration.
