Best Settings for an Emerald Cut
The elegant step cut deserves the right setting. Here are the styles that show it off best.
The emerald cut is all about clean lines and a sophisticated “hall of mirrors” clarity. Its long, rectangular shape pairs beautifully with certain settings — here are the most flattering options.
Solitaire
A simple solitaire lets the emerald cut's elegant outline speak for itself — timeless and uncluttered. Browse solitaire rings.
Halo
A halo of small accent stones adds sparkle around the step-cut center and makes it look larger — a lovely contrast to the emerald's calm facets. See halo rings.
Three-stone
Flanking the emerald cut with two side stones (often tapered baguettes or rounds) creates an Art Deco-inspired, symmetrical look. Explore three-stone rings.
Tip: because step cuts show clarity, choose a clean stone — rarely an issue with high-grade moissanite, which keeps the emerald cut looking crisp and bright.
