Hi there! I just received a three-stone emerald cut lab grown diamond ring with tapered baguettes and I’d love to get some outside opinions on the center diamond.
It’s a 3.03ct E VS2 and while I’ve owned an emerald cut diamond before, it was substantially smaller. I’ve taken a few videos of it in different lighting and wondering if others can weigh in on whether it’s a keeper or not. I absolutely love the color, size, and clarity on it and it’s so sparkly in some lighting. However, I think I see some windowing just above and below the keel (in the still pictures and some of the videos I think you can see the color of my skin coming through the diamond in those spots) and I’m not sure if it’s normal for larger emerald cuts to be dark in the middle when in direct sunlight. Is it “dancing the light” enough?
Thanks to lots of searching and price matching, I was able to purchase the diamond at just under $400/carat so it was a “good deal”. So what do you think, keep it or keep looking? Thanks for your help!
