If your priority is to create custom jewelry that is wearable, timeless, and technically sound, the cushion shape and exact proportions of this stone make design decisions simpler and more confident. The cushion outline, measuring 8.11 x 7.19 mm across the table, fits comfortably into a wide range of popular settings, from classic solitaire rings to halo compositions, three stone arrangements, and elegant pendant bezels. The 5.52 mm depth provides enough pavilion to secure strong prong engagement and to preserve the stone integrity when set, while still allowing for lower profile ring heads for daily comfort. The mixed brilliant cut yields a combination of larger facets for color saturation and smaller brilliant facets for sparkle, which means your choice of mounting metal and accent stones can shift the personality of the finished piece without fighting the emeralds natural light behavior. Choose a delicate halo of fine white diamonds to amplify brilliance, opt for rose gold for a warm contrast that enhances the green, or select a clean bezel for modern durability, and the proportions of this emerald will translate smoothly into each direction. For jewelers who work to exacting tolerances, the precise measurements and even pavilion provide predictable stone behavior under heat and pressure during setting, which reduces risk and shortens bench time, making bespoke commissions more efficient and more reliable.
