Hard to tell if it's a good buy without the price and some more info, but that depth is HUGE! I've heard of some deeply-cut ECs, but this one takes the cake. Just from the depth alone I'd pass.

Thanks for the rely...MY MISTAKE
The depth is 68.5
And the price is $3,193

The depth (which doesn't seem too bad to me) wouldn't bother me so much as the length to width ratio. According to the numbers, the ratio is 1.30:1 which means the stone is "stubbier" than the more traditional emerald cut which usually has longer proportions. To my eye, a ratio of somewhere between 1.45-1.55:1 is ideal, not too long and not too short. What kind of setting are you planning to put it in? That might help you decide whether this ratio is acceptable to you. Also, you don't say what the carat weight is. I hope this helps and doesn't make you more confused. Good luck.

Weigth still missing from stats, but all I can read sounds great. If the price is right for you, this is a promissing stone. Is there a return policy? If so, the odds for using it are slim indeed. The one thing that can (very slight chance, that is) go wrong is getting a windowed stone if the pavilion steps are too steep; this is just one thing to look for, otherwise, who would not like that perfectly clear little pebble

Thanks for the response. The setting is white gold with a single baguette and round diamond on each side

 

[Demelza]

So...did you buy it??

From what you have posted, #s are nice.

Bt can you give us a clue about the weight?

Oh, LOL! Yes, that's a much more reasonable depth than 86! Well, I still wish I could get more stats, especially crown height, but otherwise it looks decent.
