Emerald Cut Diamond in Horizontal Setting

An emerald cut diamond in horizontal setting is a beautiful option for those searching for a larger engagement ring. The horizontal setting is a modern take on the Art Deco style that rivals the elegance of traditional emerald cut diamond settings. The combination of the classic emerald cut diamond and the modern horizontal setting creates a stunning ring.

Eternity bands are perfect for horizontal settings.

Emerald cut diamond shapes are rectangular with slightly cropped corners. This type of cut is unique in how the broad, flat facets resemble "steps" chiseled into the stone. This long rectangular shape does not create the same type of fire as round cuts. However, there is a distinct, brilliant glow when the long lines of the rectangular diamond catch the light.

Although the emerald cut was once only used on emeralds, it was quickly adopted as a choice diamond cut because of the lovely glow it brought out in the stones and the elegant appearance.

It is a matter of personal choice whether you prefer a horizontal or a more traditional setting. A horizontal engagement ring setting is a great way to showcase an emerald cut diamond because it works well both a solitaire and three-stone ring. The horizontal setting makes the emerald cut stone look larger and flows naturally with the horizontal lines of the ring band.

The emerald cut is a popular choice among celebrities of all ages. A number of celebrities, past and present, had emerald cut diamond rings, including:

• Nicole Richie
• Paris Hilton
• Melania Trump
• Beth Ostrosky Stern
• Camilla Parker Bowles
• Elizabeth Taylor
• Princess Grace (Kelly)

The emerald cut diamond is a classic ring style enjoyed by all ages that will never go out of style. By choosing a horizontal setting, you can enjoy this elegant ring with a trendy twist.

Due to the recent popularity of emerald cut diamond in horizontal setting rings, you may find selections of this style ring at local jewelers.

The emerald cut diamond may look dirty faster than a smaller round gemstone because of the long, smooth surface. To keep your ring sparkling, gently wipe it with a jewelry cloth or dry soft cloth every night. Store the ring in a velvet, satin, or silk jewelry pouch and carefully place it in a jewelry box.

Remember to take special care when you are doing chores or athletic activities such as swimming. It is best to take off the ring before engaging in those activities to prevent harmful household cleaning products or chlorine or salt water from dulling your jewelry or accidentally losing it. Even though diamonds are sturdy, they should still be treated gently for the best appearance.

An emerald cut engagement ring is stunning, but even more so when it is showcased in a horizontal setting that highlights its elegant length in a unique and stylish way.
