Greetings,
I''m pretty new to PS and have been trying to absorb as much as I can about diamonds and gemstones. I was browsing the T&Co. website the other day to get some design inspiration for an engagement ring and wandered into the necklaces and pendants section. I noticed something that seemed slightly peculiar to me.
There is an awesome green tourmaline necklace on Tiffany & Co.''s website.
It really is quite nice. I was just wondering if anyone could give me insight on the cut of the tourmaline. The light return, depth, and pavilion just seem different from what I''m used to in a traditional emerald cut. It seems to have a very tall window that even shows through the north and south crown facets. Was the tourmaline deliberately cut this way to give it a very "vertical" appearance?
I was trying to justify it by telling myself it draws the eye up to the art deco scalloping. But in my head, I just keep imagining that if some lucky lady were wearing the necklace around her neck, anyone who looked at her would see a vertical strip of green tinted skin through the window.
Can you give me your feedback on it? I may be thrown off because its atypical to what I am used to seeing in an emerald cut gemstone, and because its Tiffany & Co.
