The ring, in detail

The center stone is an emerald cut, a rectangular shape with cropped corners and long, straight step-cut facets that give a clear, glassy sparkle rather than a fiery one. It is set as a clean solitaire on a fine band, so the diamond is entirely the focus.

At around seven carats, the scale is significant, but the simple setting keeps the whole ring feeling refined and modern rather than showy.

• Diamond cut: Emerald (step cut)
• Estimated carat: around 7 carats
• Setting: Solitaire
• Band: Slim
• Announced: 2022

Why the emerald cut works

Emerald cuts are about clarity and calm. Their open, hall-of-mirrors facets reward a clean, high-quality stone, and the elongated shape flatters the finger. It is the definitive quiet-luxury diamond shape. Our diamond education guide explains how step cuts differ from brilliant cuts.

Why the solitaire setting works

A solitaire on a slim band is the purest way to show off a beautiful stone: nothing competes with the diamond, and the ring reads as effortless and timeless. Paired with an emerald cut, it is understated glamour at its best.

How to get the look

Choose an emerald-cut diamond, set it as a solitaire on a fine band, and prioritize clarity and color, since an emerald cut hides very little. In a lab-grown diamond you can go impressively large while keeping the clean, high-quality look this style demands.
