What the emerald cut shows
An emerald cut has long, flat step facets and cut corners. It shows the stone's colour in calm, clean flashes instead of sparkle.
At 9x8 mm, it is close to square, which looks smart in a men's or women's ring. A bezel or four-prong setting keeps the cut corners protected.
Pairing it with gold
Yellow gold makes the orange look rich and deep. Rose gold softens it, and silver gives a cooler, modern contrast.
