Hi,
My BF is searching for an EC for me now after I fell in love with the artistry of a WELL CUT stone. I''ve always been a "sparkle" girl, but suddenly realized that I love the craftsmanship and elegance of the EC. (I must be getting older!) That said, I understand that a poorly cut EC is dull and lifeless...and when I walk through a typical B&M, most of the EC''s I see are ''dead''. Yet, the jeweler we''re working with has shown me some stones that are full of life. I understand cut and clarity reign supreme when it comes to step cuts...
Here''s what I''m wondering.
I''ve read every "SHOW ME YOUR EC" thread I can find... and I know they are less ''sparkly'' by nature when compared to RB''s... but I''m looking for assurance from EC lover/owners that their stones throw a unique sparkle IRL and have a ''personality'' that make them come to life....
Any pictures that capture the sparkle/light return would be greatly appreciated.
(It amazes me how few EC''s are on PS....EC lovers unite and stand up for the timeless step cut stone!)
thanks!
