calling for Storm...........help!!

[megeve]

Storm - could you please look at this pic for a start and tell me what you think about it? Would it be a bright stone? and hows the optical symmetry? Depth 64.1/64 Polish VG Symmetry VG N/N HVS1

Or any other knowledgeable PSers who can give me some opnion about this stone? Thank you!

 

[strmrdr]

nice patterns!
Small corners and windmills.
Yes its bright.

 

[Miss Fortune]

Not an Emerald expert but this one is beautiful

 

[strmrdr]

sorry had to do something, the next question is what is the crown height?

 

[megeve]

Storm - thanks. The information just came in. Crown height is 9.8%. What do you think? I am not sure about the pattern in this ec. It looks abit different from other ec pattern I have seen.

Miss Fortune - thanks

Miss Fortune - thanks

Right at the border, hmmmmm
with the lower crown id like to see larger corners/windmills to bring out some smaller fire.
On the other hand it certainly isn''t a bad one.

 

[bgray]

i think its stunning. higher crowns often mean a deeper stone so its a trade off but 9.8 is better than most EC's--. if you had a crown of 9.8 with a depth of 68 and a table of 67--it would be a different story--64/64 with a crown of roughly 10 is pretty darn good--and the corners on this are FABULOUS

 

[megeve]

Hmmmm, yeah what do I do now?

It says the crown angle is 35.7 an pav. angle 49.4 does it say anything to you? girdle is 1.5% is that way too thin for ec?

 

[bgray]

what is the girdle description?

 

[bgray]

FYI--my Ec is 62.5 depth/62table with a crown of 10 and change and a slightly thick girdle

 

[megeve]

Bgray - thanks! thin to thick

You are one lucky gal! Thats my sweetest spot I am looking for but hasn''t found any yet!

 

[~*Alexis*~]

it looks like a good stone and I would think this would be in the running for a purchase. I have a H VS1 and I loved it, although I loved mine because it has Flor. in it. does yours have any flor?

Sometimes they will make EC look a little warm in some lights.

10 days. I cant see it in person. I am living in Switzerland. I am thankful to know PS and get the help and evalution from people like you, bgray and other PSers! Yes PS rocks!!!!!

Storm - is the girdle okay with 1.5%? The stone is 2.26ct

Unfortunately, no flor

Yours should look nicely white with flor, right?

more pics? video?
At that size the girdle is fine.

 

[bgray]

Megeve--everyone wishes to have the D color diamond but H is fine. most vintage EC''s floating around are GHI--. once its set -it will be a stunner!

 

[megeve]

Storm - another pic! but no video, no ASET too

oh my goodness--this is a must buy! seriously a stunning stone. Megeve: my stone is an E but i would have preferred a G or H. Far more cost effective and its still a white stone. Remember Tiffany and & co sells down to I color and i can not for the life of me get a picture to post here

looks good considering the lighting.

 

[megeve]

Bgray - glad you like it! Am adding plus points for this stone.

Storm - Can you tell me the difference betw. megascope and sarin? How accurate are the grading reports between these 2 reports?

neither are very precise on EC''s sarin is much better.
CH is the only real important number the rest is pictures.

 

[bgray]

to add: i was told that sarin on emerald cut, asscher etc is very imprecise --something about jumping corners..............on my sarin the crown angle and something else came up as NA*--sometimes the machine cant compute on these step cuts

 

[strmrdr]

If it helps you decide if a return was possible I would say go for it.
It looks good and there would be no risk.
Without a possible return I would lean towards going for it but you have to decide.

 

[megeve]

Megascope reports meansurement for lengthwise is totally off from the GIA report about 0.75, that means the ratio became 1.14 instead of 1.26

I actually wanted one with the ratio of 1.30 but well I could accept also 1.26 but not squarer, any thoughts?

Have the vendor hand measure it.
sounds like a bad scan

 

[bgray]

thats funny -i would have guessed a ratio of 1.35 by the photo. my stone is 1.5 which i love. i think this stone is really nice..........
