This engagement ring features a 1.00 carat emerald cut diamond set horizontally in 18 karat yellow gold. The east-west orientation places the stone across your finger rather than pointing up and down, creating a wider profile.

Emerald cut diamonds have stepped facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect rather than the fire of brilliant cuts. At VVS2 clarity, this diamond is nearly flawless with only microscopic inclusions visible under magnification. The J color grade shows just a hint of warmth that pairs well with the yellow gold band.

The tapered band narrows slightly toward the back for a comfortable fit, and the brushed finish on the gold gives it a matte, soft look rather than high shine.
