Emerald Cut Solitaire Clutch

Timeless elegance with a twist.

The clutch is in the way the claws hold the diamond. Where a classic four-claw setting uses delicate prongs that just sit at the corners of the stone, the clutch wraps each prong more substantially around the diamond — gripping it firmly, framing it visibly, and holding it with the confidence a 5ct emerald cut deserves. A setting that does its job, beautifully and on display.

A single emerald-cut diamond sits high above the band in those clutch claws, on a substantial 2.5mm flat-edge band of solid gold or platinum. The high profile lifts the emerald clear of the finger, allowing light to enter from every angle for the famous hall of mirrors effect— those slow, deep flashes of light step cuts produce in place of explosive sparkle. Old Hollywood at full volume: the same architectural emerald cut, the same Art Deco refinement, scaled up and held with serious confidence.

Frequently asked

What is a clutch setting? A clutch setting is a four-claw setting style where the prongs are thicker, more sculpted and more visibly architectural than a classic four-claw setting. Designed to clutch the diamond more dramatically, the look is more substantial and considered — well-suited to larger statement diamonds where the setting becomes part of the visual story.

What's the difference between this Clutch version and the Emerald Classic? Both are emerald-cut solitaires. The Classic has a 1.7mm half-round band, medium profile, and a delicate four-claw setting — designed to keep the diamond as the headline. The Clutch has a wider 2.5mm flat-edge band, a high profile, and substantial sculpted clutch claws — designed to hold a larger statement diamond with serious presence.

What is an emerald cut diamond? An emerald cut diamond is a rectangular diamond with cut corners, faceted in a step-cut style — long, parallel facets running inward from the edges. Created in the 1920s and originally used for emerald gemstones (hence the name), the cut became synonymous with Art Deco design and old-Hollywood glamour.

What is the "hall of mirrors" effect? The hall of mirrors is the optical effect created by emerald cut diamonds, where light bounces between long parallel facets, producing slow, deep flashes that appear to recede into the stone. Different from the explosive sparkle of brilliant cuts — and a key reason emerald cuts are so highly regarded.

What carat weight suits this Clutch design? The Clutch design is engineered to hold larger statement stones. It works beautifully from 2ct upward, with the substantial band and sculpted claws balancing the scale. The 5ct shown sits at peak proportion for the design.

Will the emerald cut sit flush against my wedding ring? This Clutch version has a medium to high profile, so a flat or slightly contoured wedding band will sit comfortably alongside it. Our diamond concierge can design a wedding band specifically to nestle against this engagement ring style.

Can I customise this ring? Yes — every Deltora engagement ring is handcrafted to order. Choose your diamond shape and carat, your metal, your claw style, your band width and profile, and any custom detail (hidden halo, secret birthstone, internal engraving).
