Hello,
Thank You for providing this forum. I am trying to decide on an Emerald Cut diamond for an engagement ring. It will go in a three stone setting with pave on each side. I am hoping to get some help choosing a stone please.
What is important to me:
Carat: 1.5 and <
Clarity: VVS2 and <
Color: H and <
Length to width ratio: 1.38 to 1.50
I have researched and learned a lot (I think) about the 4C's , etc... What is tripping me up now is shadowing/extinction and mirroring. I have read and heard that shadowing is bad. Then, I have read and heard that you need/want some shadowing/extinction for emerald brilliance (as much as an emerald will have). If anyone has the time, I'd be grateful for your insight regarding these 4 stones please.

I have a few more I am considering, but didn't want to send too many. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help. I very much appreciate you.
