I''m attaching the images for you, so it''s easier for everyone to see.

I prefer baguette sidestones with an emerald center for an engagement ring. It''s just an eternally classic beauty to me.

For a right hand ring, a three-stone emerald ring is

.

I prefer the emerald cut 3stone ring...

 

[beechezz]

I''m loving the 3 stone emerald too!!!

 

[geckodani]

I like the baguettes.

 

[FancyDiamond]

I like both, and I mean a 5-stone ring like this.

For a large EC I prefer the baguettes [but, then again, I am biased

]. For a smaller stone I like the 3-stone EC look.

Ditto this. Or I love step cut traps for a smaller EC.

Ditto on the traps!

Baguettes, especially for an ER, it makes the stone ''pop'' more and a wedding band would sit better, I think. x

Thritto on the traps. They are a knockout look next to a nice EC.

It does depend on the size.
My sister has a 3+ct EC in the second setting, but I have a 3.1ct ec sapphire like the first with .48 ec sides. With the side ecs it also depends on proportion, there are lots of threads on the perfect proportion and everyone has their own sweet spot.

Oh man, love that five stone!
Good luck with your hunt, both options are fantastic classic looks.

I prefer traps or baguettes with emerald cuts, but I agree that it has to do with the size of the center stone.

ooooh, that Leon 5-stone is yum yum. I''m not a fan of the baguette side stones with an emerald. Who knows if my opinion matters though because I prefer other shapes of diamonds. lol Emeralds, unfortunetly, do not look very good on my fingers.
