Looking for my dream emerald has been such a long journey. I've lusted for a Graff piece which was 42K and way out of my budget. Perhaps one day. But for now, I'd be content to own a smaller Colombian, my birth stone.
Please advise. I've had quite a few people looking for emeralds, and I wonder if choosing a stone myself would be the better course. My ideal would be one with bluish-green dominant undertone, clarity clear enough for a good light performance. 1-1.5 carat. Africagems also has many but they have so many (without too many additional photos) that I just get confused. I can see why the top gems command certain prices but as for the ones that range in the several thousands, I don't really understand the pricing.
I'm just worried that I'll make a silly purchase especially with something that I wanted for a very long time. I can get emotional and impulsive with something that has been such a personal dream of mine.
TIA
