It will be a while yet before I buy one for a RHR, but I have been learning as much as I can about buying a beautiful EC diamond. I am hoping to go see some in person in a couple weeks. So far, I have read many posts here. Also, I have tried to get familiar with the AGA Cut Class chart for emerald cuts.
As I look through many vendors'' inventory, I''m surprised at how few seem to fit into the 1A Ideal or even 1B Premium cut parameters! Why so many with depths & tables >70%? Even some of the vendors'' recommended EC diamonds are those with tables approaching 70% or more?
How will an ideally cut EC perform compared to a lesser cut? And how will the brilliance, fire, etc compare to an ideal cut RB?
I''ve always loved the look of them but don''t know anyone who has one personally-- so I''ve never had a chance to sit and stare at one.
Thanks!
