I am planning to get engaged in the near future. My girlfriend says that emerald cut diamonds are her favorite. Based on that, I have begun to explore my options. Please let me know your opinions on any of the following topics:
(a) I am looking for a 3+ carat, D-F in color, IF - VVS2. For me, this is an expensive stone as I figure it will be somewhere in the $30 - $40k range. I''m wondering if it is an impressive stone, and if so, why?
(b) How traditional is this stone?
(c) Are emerald cut diamonds as "brilliant" in the way that they reflect light as other shapes of diamonds and is there anyway that I can help ensure that the diamond I choose is a real "attention getter" instead of a dull rock.
(d) At least one vendor has stated that this stone might chip over time due to a reduced number of facets. Although I am hoping to I''ll never have to worry about the diamond''s resale value, is chipping something that I need to have increased concerns about with for this type of diamond?
(e) Does any one have any other tips that need to be considered when purchasing this type of diamond?
Thanks a Million!!!
