I love emerald cut diamonds. Round brilliant ones are always nice but step cut diamonds and their parallel facets allow for more broader, softer reflection of light. As opposed to the sharp sparkle brilliant cut diamonds provide. But it's just preference; nothing really right or wrong about being partial to a style of cutting over another.
Bigger examples of emerald cuts (as well as Asscher and baguette cuts) have this tantalizing appearance of ice cubes. But a slight difficulty happens when these are set in engagement rings. They look great as is; but gets tricky when pairing with wedding bands as the elongated sides protrude. Making the most common option of providing clearance underneath the stone setting so the wedding band goes under. Which also ends up partially hiding a portion of the band beneath the center stone. Which, again, is ok with some and not ok with others.
So a client comes up with a project to make curved eternity bands to go on opposite sides of her emerald cut engagement ring. When worn together, looked really nice like a cocktail ring of sorts. And when she opts to not wear her engagement ring, the wedding bands stack up together quite nicely on her finger. A simple idea with elegant results.
