This is such a fun stone. I think it would look great set east west in a flush bezel.

It would be a perfect size for an East West - I think 7.4mm across.
 
Reduced - 1,350 (e-ring only)

Do you have any natural light videos?
 
@hoofbeats95 Yes, in the thread

Incoming "Crisscut" type solitaire

I was shopping for an emerald cut, but chose this one because it is if different. This round cornered rectangular modified rectangular is a 1.35, E, VS1. Measurements 7.87 x 5.42 x 3.50. On Ritani, they are buried with the Asschers. If anyone is interested in looking at them, I would search by...

Let me know if you want more.
 
Darn it - I'm interested!

Obviously I am on the fence. The stone is great, but I want more bling, side stones, something.

And I also dislike the iphone 13 for macro photography. I could do better with chalk on a sidewalk.

It’s a gorgeous stone, I can see why you would be on the fence.

I have an IPhone 11 Pro and I too have a hard time with macro shots. Someone needs to design a phone with diamond photography in mind!

Thank you @YadaYadaYada, argh, but I would be so happy to have a PSer who likes it enjoy it too.

I am trying to downsize, to sleeken my collection, to get to only 2 or 3 e-rings. But when I wear this cut, I really enjoy it.

However, I also like the novelty of a new stone, and enjoying a new cut. I have several more cuts I want to cycle through, and I cannot have all of them, at once. :D
. See, I want them all, and also be responsible in my hoarding. Also, not be such a magpie. Also, I want a sapphire band from NutellaKitty. *sigh*.

I'm a mess.

I wonder if the new Samsung series will have a better micro lens.
 
I get it, I’m constantly thinking I’m done and then I spot something and “have to have it.” I appreciate wanting to downsize and get to a more manageable amount. In fact I was looking at things yesterday, pulled all my rings out and thought, nope can’t part with anything here and put it all back.

The struggle is real.

I have to say though, in the past several years, your collection has grown to such a lovely assortment of jewelry! Letting go can be quite challenging.

Thank you, it’s definitely a first world problem. The logical side of me says you wear basically the same rings all the time, so you don’t need all of these. Then the jewelry hoarder side comes out and talks me out of being rational.

So if you keep this your plan is to reset into maybe a three stone? What cut would the side stones be? It’s such a unique cut, I wouldn’t know what direction to go in.
 
It would be great in a halo with a contrasting cut or maybe even color.
I could see it with royal blue sapphire sides of some sort - maybe traps. It is such a bright white stone.
Another 3-stone idea is triangular diamond baguettes facing east west for more contrast.
:) so many options.

I just looked up her. She used to be a regular member here, right? It looks like her sapphires are at least blue rather than dark navy. The stones in her pictures have some pretty color if that's how they actually appear in person.

She was around at one time.
I am charmed by this (one of the v bands) - which would look GREAT with this crisscut :D

The bold is my life. Lol
 
@lovedogs maybe we should name it PS syndrome lol! I’m kind of lucky that I mainly focus on rings, I can’t even imagine having collections of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. That would be serious trouble!
 
I cycle between jewelry, watches and jade. It is painful. Sometimes I just stay away from PS for a while, trying to "be good". I don't wear much jewelry anyhow, One ring (wedding) a jade bracelet and or watch, earrings and one necklace. I need less, not more.
 
I'd love to see a video of the criss cut it it's "sparkliest" environment.

Hi @hoofbeats95 , this cut is much like its step-cut cousin the emerald cut. You will see movement, but the fire aspect is much less.


You are welcome to look at my attempts at flashes :)
Where is Costco when I need it?

Thanks so much! I was curious how it compares to an emerald cut. I need to research how to choose an emerald. I'd like to get a lab grown one - but I don't know anything about the stats to look for. Thanks for sharing all those videos! That is genuinely a lovely stone and a very cool cut.
 
Thanks @hoofbeats95, good luck with your emerald search! I don't know about the perfect emerald stats either. One small detail is no windowing in the center of the cut. That's the end of my expertise :)
 
Still open to offers? Is the setting Platinum? Size?
 
Setting is 14k, size 6.75....possibly so, please reach out.
