Hi!
I'm in the process of selecting a diamond for an engagement ring. My girlfriend has requested an emerald cut and given me some rough guidelines: approximately 1 carat, D-G color, eye clean, natural diamond with GIA grading. She's looking for a white-gold setting. I'll likely either be choosing a simple solitaire setting or another setting with some small stones flanking the main diamond.
Being completely new to the world of diamonds, I've been doing some research in what to do look for, and was super thrilled to find PriceScope!
I'm presently thinking of this stone on James Allen, I've got it on hold while I gather some advice. = )
The stone is a 0.9 carat, G-color, IF, Excellent polish and symmetry with a faint florescence and a 1.38 ratio. It has a 65% table, depth of 65%, no cutlet, and has a slightly thick - thick girdle. Price is $2,940
Main (possible concerns) I could have would be the color on an emerald cut at this size, but I'm hoping the florescence might balance it out, possibly the girdle size, and possibly the ratio, although it's close to what I was looking for (1.4 to 1.5). Or--of course something else about the stone that I may be too novice to realize yet!
From the spin around, I like the look of the stone myself.
Any thoughts or advice on the stone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
