A gift that will shine and give joy for years and years is an emerald cut eternity band. The understated beauty of an emerald cut eternity band avoids the ostentatious look of some settings. Nevertheless, it is clearly a gift of everlasting love as well as a statement of substance. The streamlined, attractive line of emerald cut matched diamonds is sophisticated without being gaudy or overstated.
Emerald-Cut Diamonds
Emerald cut diamonds have a unique geometry that sets them apart from other diamond cuts such as a brilliant cut. Rather than having facets that are angled, the facets of an emerald cut are set parallel to one another. This requires expert craftsmanship and results in a diamond with a greater amount of white light being returned to the eye of the viewer. This diamond exhibits more impressive flashes of white light than other cuts while still providing the scintillation of other diamond cuts. At ID Jewelry in the New York Diamond District, we have a spectacular collection of expertly crafted emerald cut eternity bands.
What Is an Eternity Band?
An eternity band, also called an infinity ring is a symbol of everlasting love. While it can be fashioned with various gemstones, a diamond eternity band is the traditional gift for a major wedding anniversary such as the twenty-fifth or fiftieth. However, the eternity band is also given as a gift on birthdays or Valentine’s Day to commemorate a lifetime of love. The ring is set with diamonds around the entire circumference of a gold or platinum band. The sparkle and fire of this ring is exceptional when seen from every direction with its matched diamonds.
Why Is an Emerald Cut Eternity Band Special?
Any eternity band that is set with high-quality diamonds is impressive. What makes an emerald cut eternity band stand above the rest are three factors. The emerald cut has unique optical qualities that give flashes of white light multiplied by each of the diamonds around the circumference of the ring. Because we carefully match each of the unique emerald cut diamonds in every eternity band the final effect is stunning. And, each and every one of the emerald cut diamonds in each or our eternity bands is GIA certified and matched for carat, cut, clarity, and color. The final result is stunning, unique and an example of understated elegance.
Uniqueness of the Emerald Cut
The emerald cut is sometimes referred to as a step cut. This is because of the parallel facets. The facets of an emerald cut diamond have a length to width ratio that is pleasing to the eye. This golden cut mimics the golden mean or divine proportion discovered by the ancient Greeks and used throughout classic architecture and art. The golden mean ratio is repeated in an emerald cut diamond and repeated over and over again in matched diamonds around the circumference of the band. Giving not only a pleasing appearance but a truly, divine, look as well. The fire and sparkle of an emerald cut eternity band emerges from a cut that has the grace and beauty of the art of antiquity to grace the finger of the one whom you love and will cherish forever.
When looking for an emerald cut eternity band look for GIA certified diamonds that match perfectly and have an unequaled flash and sparkle coming from exquisitely cut and matched parallel facets around the entire circumference of the ring.
