Does anyone have a three stone emerald cut diamond ring?

[Allisonfaye]

I saw a gorgeous three stone emerald cut diamond ring today and my wheels are turning. I would only be able to consider it if I could trade my existing one in at GOG. I already changed my original set once and unfortunately, I wasn't able to trade it in so now I am sitting on that diamond and any way I try to sell it, I will take a hit. Just trying to minimize any further hit.

I would love to see any pictures of them.

You have a Michael B lace set right?
You're nuts! It's gorgeous! One of my all time favorite designs!

[Allisonfaye]

Yep. You thing that bugs me is how wide the bands are. I know that is nutty but I have small hands. I think it takes away from the diamond too. I was unable to try both on together before I purchased them and I think that I should have figured out a way to do it.

Or maybe I am just a true PS'er....suffering from the grass is always greener syndrome. Is there a 12 step group for this problem?

Michael B makes a new petit lace set that is 2mm thin. Pearlman's link
Perhaps Matthews/Michael B could do some sort of swap?
Let them know you don't find them comfortable together - maybe they can do something for you.

Windowshopper: this WAS the one I thought!

I had my first upgrade as a three stone emerald cut from Tiffany''s and I loved it...I think the linear shape of the emerald lends itself well to a three stone...

 

[asscherisme]

Yes, sort of. I have a 3 stone asscher, but technically and according to the appraisal and GIA certs what I have is a 3 stone square cut emerald ring.

I don''t know how to post photos, I had sent them to the admin. here and they posted them way back on another thread in rocky talk entitled how did he do?

I started thinking I wanted a 3 stone emerald but found I really really liked the clean lines and mirror effect of emerad cut but the square of asscher. So the square cut emerald was exactly what I wanted.

I love it. Emerald cuts, rectangle or square have such a classic timesless look to them.

 

[Allisonfaye]

Keep those pics coming. I would links to original threads too so I could see specs. I know NOTHING about buying emerald cuts. I do tend to prefer the more squarish (not rectangular ones) a little more. I don't want to go to as square as an asscher though.

 

[dani13]

I felt the same was as you did about the shape of my EC, Allisonfaye. I tended to be drawn to the more square-ish ones, rather than the rectangular, long ones. I think my EC has a great shape, perfect compromise!

 

[Allisonfaye]

Dani,
I love that one you posted, although it looks a little bigger than I probably want. Can you post a picture of your ring? I can''t get a good look at your picture.

I am going to get the particulars on that ring I saw. I want to know what proportions appeal to me. The only concern I have is that the center stone was 1.87 and it seemed smaller so I am guessing it might be too deep. But I did like the proportions of side stones to the center stone. I can see that constructing the perfect ring might be tricky. Also, it was I color.

Hi, Dani...I posted that ring! I was just going to look for it. It's one of my all-time favorites. I like how the center stone is sort of "asscher-esque". I don't remember the stats, but I do know it was put together by DBL....(it's not mine)

3-stone ECs is one of my very favorite configurations. ALL the rings in this thread are just yummy...

ETA: Just found out...the center stone is 2.26cts...I think its a J .

 

[dani13]

Sure Allison, here is a few pics of my EC solitaire with double claw prongs. The basket is done in pave. Stone is 1.7 ct....G/VS1

Here is a pic of the pave basket...

Holy cow! 2.36 cts! Nice! That ring is truly a beauty!

 

[Allisonfaye]

I love that ring, Dani. I have never considered an emerald cut before but my old boss, who I like to refer to as Satan, had one. It was to die for. I don''t know how many carats it was but it was big. I am guessing three carats. I would give my eye teeth to know how much it cost. She was the type of person who had to ask an employee to show her how to attach a document to an email because she wouldn''t bother to learn how to use technology so I know she just went to some high end jeweler and bought it.

I think I am going to run over to NM to look at that ring again and snap some pics. I would normally never consider buying from them for something like this but I figured after buying the ruby ring and the bracelet, I have some leverage with them on my trade and I do think they give me a little bit better price.
BTY, the husband still doesn''t know about the bracelet. I have been waiting for the right time to bring it up. He has been in a bad mood lately. Luckily, they don''t come along very often. Wait until he hears my latest scheme. But I figure this will be the only way I can upgrade my e-ring and take advantage of a couple of things that are on my side at NM. I told the lady there my plan and she seemed to think it was reasonable. She is checking into the specs on the stone. I found out it was a Kwiat, which I may have already mentioned. I asked it was GIA certed and she was going to check so I called Kwiat and they said 90% of their stones are. I want to also see how the I color compares to my G that I have now and if I can do an I or not.

So who is the expert on specs on an E cut diamond that I should run the numbers by when I get them?

 

[emgirl]

Its funny that this thread just showed up, because I piced up my new 3 stone emerald this weekend. This site was great to gain the knowledge necessary to pick out a great stone. (there are several good threads if you doa search. I have attempted to attach a pic, but Im not sure it worked. You mentioned that you like more squarish emeralds. I thought I did too, until I saw my 1.43 l/w with side stones next to it. I thought it looked a million times better that the more square emeralds. My side stones are just slightly more square and it really sets off the center stone. Good luck with your search.

 

[emgirl]

I think it worked now...

 

[emgirl]

I see that it sounds like you will wait to trade it, but here is a better pic anyway.

 

[Allisonfaye]

That looks pretty similar. What are the specs on the center?

 

[emgirl]

Center is 1.32 carats G VS1. Depth 65%, table 71%, length width 1.43. Table is bigger than I originally wanted, but it still has a good deal of sparkle and the longish shape really drew me in.

It''s just beautiful, Emgirl!

Congratulations!

[KristyDarling]

These are ALL amazing. Windowshopper, I was especially blinded by yours!

This thread just reaffirms my love for ECs!

 

[Allisonfaye]

I just got some specs on the center stone. The depth is 67.5. It is deeper than yours. The table is 65. Where can I find out if this is too deep? She didn''t know the lxw ratio but she was going to get it for me.
