Since then, emerald-cut engagement rings have been worn by a starry list of brides such as Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Amal Clooney, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lopez and Nicola Peltz. Indeed, the cut has become something of a house signature, linking back to the famous Jonker I, the 125.35 carat emerald-cut diamond cleaved from the enormous 726 carat Jonker rough diamond that Winston bought in 1935. The jeweller Harry Winston adored emerald cuts for their ability to show off the exceptional quality and clarity of a diamond (with fewer facets to reflect light than other cuts, you are able to look directly into an emerald-cut stone, which would show up any flaws). It became a hugely popular cut during the 1920s art deco movement, which favoured clean lines and symmetrical shapes. It is thought to have originated in the 15th century when jewellers used it to minimise pressure when cutting emeralds, a much more fragile stone, to prevent them from chipping or breaking.

The emerald-cut engagement ring has been around for centuries.
