Frequently Asked Questions

What is a three-stone engagement ring?

A three-stone engagement ring is just that–an engagement ring with three stones! Typically, the center stone is larger than the two side stones. Browse our gallery of three-stone engagement rings.

What color grade is best for an emerald cut diamond?

Those that are concerned about the color of their natural emerald cut diamond should opt for higher color. However, to the naked eye, J color and above work really well.

What is the ideal clarity for an emerald cut diamond engagement ring?

Because of natural emerald cut diamonds’ open and clear faceting, we would recommend at least a VS2 in clarity, depending on the diamond. An eye clean SI may exist but would be extremely rare.

What is the most common three-stone engagement ring design?

The most common three-stone engagement ring design is the emerald cut with trapezoid side stones, typically step-cut trapezoids over brilliant cut trapezoids. However, there are different variations of this design that you can browse in our gallery.

Which side stones are most popular/look best with an emerald cut center stone?

The most popular side stone options for an emerald cut center stone are trapezoid side stones–either step-cut or brilliant cut. If you are looking for something just slightly different, the second most popular option would be tapered baguettes.

Emerald cuts feature step-cut faceting meaning their faceting is parallel. They have an open table that allows you to look clearly into the diamond. For these reasons, emerald cut diamonds lack the fire and brilliance of other shapes. However, the elongated shape allows for larger flashes of sparkle when light rays reflect through them. Length-to-width ratio is very important for emerald cuts because they vary so drastically and will give you dramatically different appearances. For emeralds, ratios will typically vary from 1.3 for a more compact look all the way to 1.60 and above for a more elongated rectangular look for the emerald. Because of their open and clear faceting, we would recommend at least a VS2 in clarity.
