Are you looking for a unique and stunning diamond engagement ring that is as
promising and as shining as a brilliant round-cut diamond? If you answer yes,
then there is no better option than a rectangle engagement ring with an eye-
catching design. A rectangle engagement ring is a sister to the famous square-
shaped diamond that makes a stunning fashion statement and is a preferred
choice for modern brides.
What is a rectangle engagement ring called?
A rectangle engagement ring is called an emerald cut engagement ring, which
comes in angular and elongated shape with clipped corners and each side.
Historically these diamonds have been a popular choice for people for their
stunning shape. A rectangle diamond ring is appealing to the eye since it is set
either vertically or horizontally, unlike the most common round-shape diamond
engagement ring.
How does a rectangular cut to a diamond differ from a brilliant round-cut diamond?
Round brilliant cut and rectangular diamond shapes are two popular choices for
an engagement ring. However, many key differences between the two popular
diamond shapes make them ideal for different purposes and uses. The prime
difference between a brilliant cut diamond ring versus a Rectangle diamond
engagement ring is the symmetry.
In the brilliant round cut, you can see different sides of the diamond from a bird's
eye view. You will find emeralds in large diamond wedding rings with small carat
weights since they hide inclusions and flaws in the structure or surface of the
stone without compromising the shine or brilliance. Also, rectangle wedding
rings are cheaper than diamond shapes with more facets. The prime reason why
this emerald-shaped diamond ring is less expensive is that this diamond cut
requires less work in terms of cutting at the time of production.
