Q&A: Choosing an Emerald Cut Diamond for a Solitaire Setting with Around $4,000 Budget

I’ve been looking for an emerald cut ring for 2 month. My budget is around $4000, and I know clarity is the key for emerald cut, I just want to find something have good quality and as big as can, and it can’t be smaller than 0.75. Please help me:)

Thank you so much!

I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).

I like a simple solitaire platinum setting, I have small hands so I want a really thin setting. Thank you for helping me.

I love this diamond for you:

Its superbly cut, eye-clean and will look fabulous in a solitaire setting. What do you think?

What do you think about this one? I’m a Asian and because of my skin tone I don’t like really white color.

Looks great as well.
