Emerald cut help

Some contrast is good. For me, this one has too much.

Thanks Gypsy. I ordered the JA diamond which should arrive in the next cpl days. I am hoping that one is the keeper!

The JA stone came in. I think it looks great -- some nice scintillation in the corners that I didn't notice in the video, nice reflection of light off the panels. Under my indoor office lights and in the sunlight I can't see any yellowness -- it looks fantastic in the sunlight. Under the lights at Joe Escobar, though, I did think a slight yellow tint was more apparent which worried me a little. The salesman said that the lighting there will be the 'harshest' condition for the diamond where you're able to see the color difference most easily.

Below are some pictures:







WF also sent me the ASET for another H color option that I'll post here.

Below is another H color option that WF sent me. There still seems to be a good bit of contrast, but definitely more promising than the prior one. Curious to hear what people think -- I am running low on time but am wondering if I should fly this one out to compare with the JA stone.

I love this one. Very nice. Yes, it's a great choice for a head to head comparison.

I realize that in the whirlwind post proposal I never got around to saying THANK YOU to everyone for the help! Below is a picture of the final product -- my fiance absolutely loves it! I am so grateful to everyone for their advice (especially Gypsy!).

In terms of vendors I ended up going with WhiteFlash for the stone, and Joe Escobar for the setting. Had a great experience with both!
