There is definitely something bold and special about a big emerald band; the one I have is quite subtle.
Not to complicate your decision but I agree with this post. I purchased a diamond eternity band myself just a few days ago.
I thought that I wanted an emerald cut stone. It has always felt so classic and elegant to me. In my eyes, it was a show stopping piece of jewelry, and truth be told, has been on my wishlist for years. I especially thought it was a no brainer when my SA pointed out that emerald stones tend to look larger than their actual carat weight due to the cut.
That is until I walked in to a second jeweler a few days later. There I mentioned being drawn to emerald cut eternity bands. The jeweler then asked if I had ever considered a radiant cut stone as it was his favorite cut on a diamond. WOW! The sparkle was blinding! In that moment I realized that I loved the crushed ice 'glitter' of a radiant cut over the mirrored effect of an emerald cut.
In my humble opinion the radiant sparkles like ice while an emerald stone looks like a mirror reflecting on itself. Obvs, one is no better than the other. Just personal taste - it's all subjective. And, as mentioned in previous replies, not to judge anyone's personal taste, I also feel that a channel setting is dated and doesn't give you as much bang for your buck
My vote is for the prong set emerald eternity band. But I also say, go check out radiants. No matter what you decide, I'm sure you will wear it well!
Good luck in your decision making!
I have an eternity emerald cut and I love it. I wanted the bigger stone for the facets so it popped more and I am so happy with it. I haven't worn my engagement ring in years. The baguette is still a beautiful ring (I mean Marilyn wore it) but it depends on the look you are going for. The channel set is definitely more "secure/safer" than the prong set. But prongs are still sturdy nonetheless. You cant make a bad choice.
I just love emerald cut diamonds, so for me, I'd definitely go with the emerald cut eternity. It's exquisite.
I absolutely adore emerald cut eternity rings!!! The only reason I don’t have one is because I don’t like it with my round brilliant ering.
I love emerald cut eternity bands! It's on my wish list for my 25th wedding anniversary. DH has a couple years to save up! 
Congratulations! I prefer the emerald cuts. To me, the baguettes look too much like the air filter for a car engine!
Did you ever get your ring? I would love to know what you chose. I just came across this and it is my 60th birthday in 2 months and I am just trying to decide what size stones I would like in an emerald cut band.
