As for the pair, I've chosen a stunning emerald cut three stone ring. Now, you might wonder why this combination? Well, the emerald cut is a favorite among celebrities, but when pairing it with the eternity band, there might be a slight gap between the rings. Don't worry though, because the carat combination is perfect.

With four and a half carats in the emerald cut ring, it strikes a balance, providing just the right amount of sparkle without being overwhelming. The width of the band, approximately 2.8 millimeters, complements the overall look, especially with the addition of baguette stones.


In summary, this pairing creates a gorgeous ensemble that's both elegant and refined. The emerald cut diamonds will steal the spotlight while the eternity band adds a touch of glamour. A match made in heaven!

Yellow Gold Emerald Cut Eternity Band

Let's move on to the second set, featuring a similar low-profile design but in a smaller size. This eternity band showcases dazzling 0.12-carat stones, measuring at 3.5mm. It's a super comfortable and seamless design that perfectly complements every engagement ring we sell, whether it's low or high profile.

For this set, we've paired the eternity band with a round six-prong solitaire engagement ring—a highly requested and stunning look. You can also try pairing it with an oval center stone, which we'll showcase shortly.

Comparing the two rings side by side, both display admirable craftsmanship with their elegant emerald cut bands. However, the round six-prong solitaire features a 2.3-carat D color center stone, adding a touch of brilliance to the mix. The engagement ring's bandwidth currently measures at two millimeters, which allows for a sleek and flush fit with our super low-profile eternity band.

Keep in mind that a thicker bandwidth on your engagement ring offers more options for pairing with wedding bands of varying thicknesses. Nevertheless, our signature design ensures a comfortable and elegant fit, even with a two-millimeter band, making this combination an absolute beauty. Stay tuned for the stunning oval pairing coming up next!

Rose Gold Emerald Cut Eternity Band

Let's continue with set number three, featuring an exquisite emerald cut band with 0.12-carat stones, totaling approximately three carats.

Keep in mind that the total weight and the size of each stone can vary depending on your finger size. When shopping for an eternity band, it's essential to consider the millimeter or per stone size rather than relying solely on carat weight, as this can change depending on the specifics.


Now, comparing the two rings side by side, you'll notice a distinct difference in their styles.

The first one has an opening that beautifully showcases the emerald cut diamonds, while the second one has a closed basket design, offering a more traditional look. The closed basket style is particularly suitable for individuals leading more active and hands-on lifestyles, as it provides sturdier support for the diamonds.


For this set, I've paired the emerald cut band with a 2.2 millimeter, four-prong hidden halo solitaire.

The platinum prongs serve to contrast and enhance the brilliance of the center stone, making it appear whiter, as the choice of metal can influence the stone's appearance. This combination results in a stunning set where each ring retains its individual charm and significance.


Additionally, we offer color matching services, ensuring that your wedding band perfectly complements your center stone, whether it's a white or yellow diamond.

Emerald Cut Diamond Halfway Wedding Band

Now, let's explore set number four, which introduces the half-way band version of the ring featured in set number one.

This half-way band also boasts smaller diamonds, each measuring three and a half millimeters. Why is a half-way band a good choice? Well, there are a few reasons. Firstly, when you first get engaged or married, you may not be sure how many kids you'll have, if any. Opting for a half-way band allows for future resizing possibilities, as more metal at the bottom makes resizing easier.


Let's see how this half-way band pairs with a pavé band.

Notice that I often choose four prongs for pairing. The reason behind this is that with thicker bands and six prong rings, an extra prong can cause slight pushing against the band. Opting for four prongs usually allows for a more flush fit. This consideration mostly applies to round diamonds.


Next, we have the emerald cut solitaire with a hidden halo cathedral.

The cathedral design provides a thicker width on the sides, allowing for a wider wedding band. This comparison shows both round on emerald and emerald on emerald.


Now, let's try on set number four, paired with the emerald cut solitaire featuring the smaller 3.5mm band

This size complements a 1.8-carat center stone perfectly, appearing flawlessly flush. The hidden halo accentuates the overall look, creating an absolutely stunning combination.

Oval Hidden Halo Solitaire

Now, let's dive into set number five, featuring a dazzling four-carat total weight eternity band, measuring at 4.2mm.

This size falls between the 0.12-carat and 0.25-carat options we've seen earlier. For this set, I've chosen to pair the eternity band with a stunning oval-shaped diamond. The oval emerald pairing has been a recent favorite among many, and it's easy to see why. This combination allows the oval diamond to shine brilliantly on its own, while the width of the emerald cut in the eternity band creates a striking contrast, adding a touch of glamour.


One of the things I personally adore about this pairing is that it works beautifully regardless of the size of the center stone. Whether your oval diamond is larger or smaller, the combination remains stunning and elegant.


There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing the perfect pairing. It's all about finding what resonates with your personal style and preferences. The oval and emerald pairing strikes a perfect balance, letting both elements shine in their own unique ways, and that's something truly special.
