     Emerald cut diamond usually has an elongated rectangle shape. The chiseled step cuts and beveled corners make the emerald diamond shape distinctive. The emerald-cut engagement rings look bigger than their actual size.

     These days emerald cut engagement rings have become very popular. You might also like to have a beautiful emerald diamond ring for yourself or your lover. In this article, we will try to help you find your favorite diamond ring more easily by highlighting the important features of the emerald cut diamond.

Is emerald-cut diamond good?

      The emerald cut diamond is one of the 10 most popular diamond cuts in the world. But if we want to determine whether an emerald cut is a good choice or not, I have to say it depends on the quality of the diamond. By considering the GIA factors to estimate diamond quality, we should note that it is the cut, carat weight, clarity, and color of the diamond that confirm or deny the worth of the emerald cut diamond.

     On the other hand, as you know, the setting of the emerald cut engagement ring also has a significant effect on the emerald diamond ring’s appearance. A well-designed emerald diamond ring can multiply the diamond’s sparkle. In this case, you can say that this emerald cut diamond is good.

     It is important to note that emerald cut diamonds also have unique characteristics that make many customers believe that the emerald cut is a good choice, especially for a diamond engagement ring. For example, the emerald cut diamond looks larger than its actual carat weight due to its elongated appearance. Elongated diamonds are usually more sparkly and luxurious than small diamonds. It also makes the finger look longer and more delicate than its real size.

       Although most emerald cut diamonds are rectangular, some are square too. This variety allows jewelry designers to implement a variety of designs for an emerald cut engagement ring. This feature is important to many couples because they can have their own fully personalized unique diamond ring.

      Another great feature of the emerald cut is that although it is scarce, it is also less expensive than other diamond shapes such as Princess and round diamond. As a result, there is a good opportunity for couples to have a rare stunning diamond ring at a lower cost.

     As I mentioned before, to determining the best diamond cut we should consider the 4Cs factors that are introduced by the GIA to evaluating the diamonds. Those factors are cut grade, carat weight, clarity, and the color of the diamond.

      As I mentioned before, we should consider the 4Cs factors that are introduced by the GIA to evaluate a diamond’s quality for determining the best diamond cut. Those factors are 1) cut grade, 2) carat weight, 3) clarity, and 4) the color of the diamond. There is no exception about the emerald cut diamonds. It means that special consideration of those 4Cs factors should be given to evaluation of the emerald cut quality.

      Although the GIA, unfortunately, does not sign the quality of the fancy diamond shapes, such as the emerald cut, the jewelers have defined a general standard for the emerald cut diamond, which gives the emerald cut the most sparkle.

      As you probably know, a natural diamond is a piece of hard and rough stone that must be cut by diamond cutters. The diamond cutters can cut this stone in a symmetrical shape by using mathematical formulas and special tools to reflect light and show its extraordinary brilliance.

     Yes, the dance of light emitted by diamonds is due to the artistic cutting of specialists who make the diamonds perfectly symmetrical and in mathematical proportions. These facets act as mirrors and reflect the light received by the diamond.

Why renew your wedding vows?

What motivates a couple to renew their wedding vows inevitably varies from couple to couple. Celebrant of the Year, humanist wedding celebrant Jane Blackman looks at the many and varied reasons for couples to renew their wedding vows. 

Happy couple

Just as each couple’s relationship is totally unique, often their reasons for choosing to reaffirm their commitments to each other, are very personal and individual. That individuality is the perfect starting point for planning a vow renewal ceremony when I meet a couple and we begin to talk, to plan, and to create a bespoke ceremony for them.

First and foremost, the simplest, but the most powerful motivator for couples, is that they want to truly celebrate the strength of their love and their ongoing relationship – no matter how long or short their marriage so far.

Some couples arrange a vow renewal to mark a milestone wedding anniversary. Whilst any anniversary is absolutely appropriate, couples often choose to renew their promises to each other on a special anniversary such as their 5th (wood) 10th (tin), 20th (china), 25th (silver), 30th (pearl), 40th (ruby) or 50th (gold).

Other couples wish to use their ceremony to acknowledge and express gratitude that their relationship sits happily within an important group of people who mean so much to them and who contribute to their sense of fulfilment and contentment in life, therefore enhancing their marriage. They may choose to gather loved ones and close friends around them – reliving the fond memories of their wedding day – having everyone special to them together in a lovely place – a wonderful excuse for a personalised, memorable party – which includes and engages the most important people in the couple’s lives.

For some couples, the renewal of vows is to acknowledge that they have had significant challenges to cope with, and that as a result of the strength of their partnership, they have together overcome hardship. Perhaps there has been a period of significant illness to endure, or maybe a time of financial strain.

Whatever the difficulties experienced as a pair, celebrating getting through those tough times and the subsequent better times, is the perfect reason to hold a vow renewal celebration.

As well as celebrating the past and sharing gratitude for all that has been enjoyed and achieved together, a vow renewal is a wonderful opportunity to look forward as a pair, to times yet to come and to express hopes and aspirations for the future.

Some couples not only choose to reaffirm the promises that they made to each other on their original wedding day, but many decide to add to those original vows (or to state new promises altogether), writing and making further pledges, to acknowledge their maturing and changing relationship over time. In doing so, couples are able to celebrate the strength of their union and those successful elements of their partnership that have brought them to this point – promising to continue to do those things that bring continued joy and contentment.

A wedding vow renewal ceremony dedicates quality time to reflect on a relationship with a clear, meaningful purpose for that reflection. On every occasion when I’ve met with a couple to talk with them about their ‘story’ and their marriage so far, in preparation for their ceremony, they’ve reported thoroughly enjoying that part of the overall process; really benefiting from the opportunity to consider what makes them tick as a couple, what they continue to adore about each other and how they see their marriage moving forward into the future.

In my experience, a vow renewal can be an occasion full of much fun, laughter, and joy, as well as some very moving, life-affirming moments. So, what’s not to love about getting together with those people who make you happiest, to clap, cheer, and whoop together, to celebrate the continuing marriage of two human beings, who have chosen to stick together for life, because both continue to agree that each of them is still the perfect match for the other?
