If you are the type of person that likes rare styled gemstones, then the emerald cut diamond will perfectly suit your taste. This type of stone is not like the common round diamond but instead is rectangular shaped. In addition, since it has fewer facets it will not have the brilliance of a round diamond.

Emerald Cut Diamond: A Good Choice For Those On A Budget 

If you would like to purchase a less expensive engagement ring for your fiancée, you can consider purchasing an emerald cut diamond. Since this type of diamond cut has more inclusions and blemishes than a round diamond, you will need to purchase a better quality stone order to mask these imperfections. Some places you can find an emerald cut diamond are an antique store, auction, estate sale, online and a fine jewelry store.  

Purchase An Emerald Cut Diamond With A Good Clarity Grade 

It is important that you consider the clarity grade of the emerald cut engagement ring before you decide to

purchase it. Diamonds have different grades of clarity and higher clarity grade stones are more expensive than those that have a lower clarity grade.

An emerald cut diamond with a Sl1 clarity grade signifies that its blemishes and inclusions may be visible by the naked eye and can be seen with 10x magnification. This diamond clarity grade for an emerald cut diamond is suitable for those people who are on a strict budget.

If you have the financial means to spend a little more money, you can consider purchasing an engagement ring with a VS1 or VS2 clarity grade. The inclusions in this clarity grade are not visible by the naked eye and the diamond overall has a wonderful appearance. In addition, a diamond of this clarity grade will be more brilliant than a stone that has a Sl1 clarity grade.  

Antique Emerald Cut Diamond 

Reputable antique dealers who specialize in jewelry may have an emerald cut diamond ring in their possession. If you are not an expert in antique diamond jewelry, you should have a jewelry inspect the ring to determine its worth and authenticity.

Antique jewelry pieces are one of a kind and the ring in question may be valuable, be of poor quality, or even be a reproduction. If you decide to purchase an antique emerald cut diamond ring, follow the advice of a jewelry professional so that you will not overpay for an imitation. 

Our final recommendation is to consider purchasing a contemporary emerald cut diamond that has a VS1 or VS2 clarity grade and has a G color grade; this color grade signifies that the diamond is nearly colorless. Since contemporary rings of this diamond cut are easier to find, it will save you a lot of time and effort in your search and will also be less expensive than an antique emerald cut diamond ring.

If you can afford a diamond with a D, E, or F color grade the stone will be colorless and will be much more expensive than stone with a G color grade.
