Platinum emerald cut solitaire engagement rings, handmade to order by our family workshop in the Cotswolds and set with a diamond you choose yourself. The emerald cut is a long, step-cut diamond with clean lines and broad flashes of light, for an elegant, Art Deco look. A solitaire holds one diamond on a clean band, so all the attention goes to the stone.

The emerald cut diamond
The emerald cut uses long, flat step facets instead of the brilliant facets of a round. Rather than sparkle, it gives broad flashes of light and a clear "hall of mirrors" look into the stone. Its long shape and cut corners give a quiet, elegant ring that looks larger than its weight. With a emerald diamond, a solitaire shows off the full outline of the stone.
Why a solitaire?
A solitaire is the purest engagement ring: one diamond on a plain band, with nothing to compete with the stone. It never dates, lets more light into the diamond than any other setting, and sits easily beside almost any wedding ring.
Why platinum?
We use 950 platinum, hallmarked in the UK. It is about 95% pure, so it is naturally white all the way through and never needs re-plating. It is heavier than gold and very hard-wearing: rather than wearing away, the metal moves over time and takes on a soft satin look, which a quick polish brings back to a high shine. It is also the best choice if you have sensitive skin.
Choosing your emerald diamond
The open step facets show more of the inside of the stone, so clarity matters more than on a round: VS2 or better is a safe choice. A ratio of 1.30 to 1.50 gives the classic shape. The cut corners protect the stone, so it is a practical choice for everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
VS2 or better is a safe choice. Step-cut facets are open and flat, so inclusions are easier to see than in a brilliant-cut diamond. Check the stone's photos before you choose.
Yes. A plain wedding band sits neatly beside most solitaires, and if the setting sits low, a shaped band fits around it. Our wedding ring designer makes matching plain bands.
All precious metals mark with wear. Platinum moves rather than wearing away, so it keeps its weight and holds the diamond securely. Over time it takes on a soft satin finish, and we can polish it back to a bright shine whenever you like.
