Emerald-Cut Diamond Solitaire with Eternity Band

Selecting an engagement ring is one of the most important and defining moments in our life and you really can’t go wrong with an emerald-cut diamond solitaire ring. It really probably doesn’t seem all that simple when you first start to think about it. You are being asked to choose something that someone else will wear every day for the rest of their lives. And, this is likely one of the more expensive jewelry purchases you will make in your life. All of this can make finding the right engagement ring pretty daunting. But we are here to help.

Over the years, we have helped people of all walks of life find the perfect engagement ring for their taste, style, and budget. All this experience allows us to know some of the main considerations you will want to think about before choosing your ring. Here, we put all that experience together to provide you with a basic guide for choosing a great engagement ring. We then look at a specific ring and take apart the intricacies and benefits of its design. Hopefully, this will help simplify the process at least a little bit. 

The Most Important Moments in Life

The process of asking someone to marry you is one of the most important choices you can make in life. There are a lot of things that lead you to this defining moment and it can be a little bit scary. One of the first things you will want to do is think about her general style. Are there certain materials or even gemstone cuts she likes? You will also want to establish a budget before you even start shopping. This can save you a lot of time and headaches. It is no fun to find a great ring only to realize it is out of your price range.

Once you have these considerations worked out, you will then want to think about her lifestyle and daily activities. She is going to be wearing this ring every day, so it needs to be able to go where she does and not interfere with her daily life. Is she really active? Does she use her hands a lot during her work or hobbies? If so, you may want to choose a small, simple, and unobtrusive ring. The emerald-cut diamond solitaire we feature here is a great choice. 

The Power of Classic Styles

We know that it can be pretty tempting to choose something really fancy and stylish when looking for an engagement ring for that special someone. This is especially true if the person you are shopping for is a bold trendsetter. But as tempting as this may be, we strongly advise against it. Remember, an engagement ring is something that is meant to be worn every day for the rest of her life. Now think about trends and how quickly they come and go. The last thing you want is to buy her an engagement ring that is going to fall out of fashion in a short period of time. This is why we recommend the classics, even if you are shopping for someone who likes trendy styles.

The thing about the classics is that they are, well, classic. They have a style that defies time and trends. These are styles that always look great, no matter what is currently in fashion. The ring we feature here is a great example of classic and timeless style. It is actually a blending of two classic styles in one. The great thing about the classics is that they are versatile and look great with pretty much anything. And, as her style evolves over time, this ring will evolve with her. 

Solitaire Rings

There isn’t a style that is much more classic than a diamond solitaire ring. It really is a quintessential classic. In some ways, the solitaire is like the little black dress of jewelry: no matter what is in style, a ring like this will look amazing. And another great thing about this style is that it looks great with a huge gemstone, such as what we feature here. But it also looks amazing with more modest stones as well. It really is a style that you can’t go wrong with and there are a lot of accents you can add to the design to make it a bit more unique and special.

In essence, as the name implies a solitaire ring is one that features a main stone which is the focal point of the piece. If you are looking at a really traditional solitaire ring, you would find a single gemstone with a metal band and nothing more. This is a stunning style, but we also like to see the addition of accents that give the piece a bit more personality. We love this style as an engagement ring.

The Eternity Band

Another really great classic and timeless style is the eternity band. Often, we will see this style feature as a wedding band. It works great with most kinds of engagement rings, from simple to ornate. However, there is also a trend towards using the eternity band as part of the engagement ring itself, which is what we see here with the emerald-cut diamond solitaire ring we are featuring. The eternity band is a simple, yet elegant, design. It is composed of small gemstones – in this case, diamonds – that are inset into the metal of the band. This creates a smooth surface.

It adds a ton of extra sparkle to the piece and also gives it some meaning and symbolism a simple solitaire ring doesn’t have. The eternity band is meant to symbolize two lives joining together until the end of time. This is a beautiful way to honor a relationship and will give the ring a bit more special meaning that it might otherwise have. So it makes the ring look great and also makes it a far more special piece because of the symbolism for your relationship.

Emerald-Cut Diamonds

Thinking about classic cuts, it is hard to think of anything better than a flawless emerald-cut diamond. Here, we feature a ring with a stunning emerald-cut stone along with an eternity band featuring round brilliant-cut stones. The emerald cut, as the name implies, took its inspiration from a cut for emeralds.

Since emeralds are far more brittle and fragile than diamonds, the long step cuts that make up this specific cut work well with the material. However, it looks great with diamonds as well, not just emeralds. It has a mirror effect that is unmatched by other diamond cuts.

This is a cut that emits a ton of fire, which is one of the favorite qualities of the diamond. Fire refers to the rainbow of hues that emit from the center of certain diamond cuts. It is a cut that shows the depth and quality of a stone. Since it is meant to show the depth of the stone, you want to choose the highest quality diamond you can afford. Any imperfections or flaws in the diamond are readily apparent with this cut. It makes sense to prioritize quality over size for this cut. 

White Gold

White gold is a beautiful material that we see in a ton of high-end jewelry. This material graces rings, luxury watches, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and more. It is a great choice for an engagement ring as well and is the metal that features in the emerald-cut diamond solitaire ring we feature here. Known for its cool, silvery hues, white gold offsets nicely against pretty much any kind of gemstone. Here, we can see that it pairs really well with the high-grade diamonds that make up this ring. Its cool hue is a great option for those who don’t like the buttery yellow of traditional gold.

Interestingly, white gold saw its development as a cheaper alternative to platinum. A lot of people love the cool hue of platinum but not its hefty price tag. Like all gold, white gold is actually a blending of pure gold and other metals. This allows the gold to have the strength it needs for use in jewelry. In its pure form, gold is far too soft for this use. With white gold, more silvery metals are added to the mix than with yellow gold. This gives it its unique hue. The metal will often finish with a coat of rhodium which helps it retain its color.

Elegant Versatility

One of the great things about the emerald-cut diamond solitaire ring with an eternity band is that it is incredibly elegant and timeless. We discuss above why the classic styles just make the most sense for use in an engagement ring. You want something that is going to stand the test of time and not fall out of fashion in a short period of time. This ring is meant for life. The classics have all the elements that allow them to stand the test of time and defy trends. But there are more benefits of these classic styles than just their ability to defy trends.

This ring will look great with a huge range of different fashions. Whether you are spending a day in the park with the kids or a night out with your friends, it is a ring that will really look great. It pairs well with all styles of clothing for any occasion. This means it will look just as great with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as it does with a fine gown. These are really attractive qualities for a ring that you will be wearing every day. An emerald-cut diamond ring is a great addition to the wardrobe.
