Emerald cut! Should I buy or keep looking?

[TIFFANYDIAMONDSLTD]

Hello pricescopers!! I've been wanting an emerald cut diamond forever it seems and I want the shape long and skinny as that seems to look best on my fingers But I found this one and it is one of those stones that offers a big look but the clarity and color I gave on a bit so I could afford it.... This stone measures 11.4 x 6.5 so it's a super nice size and I just have it setting in a mounting I had, and pulled the prongs in a bit just to get a visual of it set , but I'll probably set it in an art deco style thin baguette halo mounting Should I buy this one or keep looking..everything else I have looked at in this size is wayyyy out of my budget lol!

It’s very difficult to tell from static photos.
I love the size, and the l x w ratio.
It looks, at most angles, to not be well cut (I can see straight through it and see your skin, and other background).
Can you take a video?

I tried but the video extension won't work I really don't see through it honestly..I think it's absolutely beautiful but this is my first emerald cut ever...never had one lol

You have the best vantage point: IRL observation.
If this stone WOWS you, that should be all that matters.
As long as it’s flashy, sparkles, and the steps light and dim, properly, you’re good!

Personally, I am not keen on the setting, as the prongs look too pronounced and not even to my eyes, based on the photos I have seen so far.

I'm not keeping it in that its just a blank mounting I rigged up to set it in while I decided...i want to do something like this with it...

I love either style!
Can’t wait to see what you decide!

Step cut halo can be tricky to be made well as the stones would probably need to be custom-cut to fit, especially the one in the corners, and may be more costly to make as a result.

Yeah the pictures really don't do it justice....I will say this...when I first saw the stone it literally brought tea

 

[TIFFANYDIAMONDSLTD]

Thank you! When I first saw the stone it literally brought tears to my eyes lol! But I can afford this one now without going into debt and I have the lifetime trade in option so its kinda a win win

Yeah that one is gorgeous and I already have the long baguettes to do that design

One thing I learned in my own search for the perfect EC was to go as high as you can on the clarity. EC's are a ball of mirrors and anything that is visable will be seen and reflected.

Sounds like a winner to me! If it doesn't break the bank and you love it, that's all that really matters. I'm no EC expert but I think it's lovely...and huge! And I adore the second setting you posted, with the baguettes either side
