My mom graciously gifted a 1ct emerald cut stone to me for my birthday.
I am looking to have a 3 stone ring made with it - I need to pursue the project in phases, so the diamonds will be purchased first and then I'll wait until I can afford the setting.
ANYHOO... I am having a hard time finding photographic examples of 3 stone emerald cut proportions and so I'm hoping you can help or maybe offer up an opinion.
The center stone is 6.9 x 4.8 (so, nearly 7 x 5). Ratio: 1.44
The first set of stones I purchased to see in hand were 4.98 x 3.88 - they were waaaay to small IMO.
I have two other sets I'm considering are sized as follows:
Set A: 5.57 x 4.08 Ratio: 1.37
Set B: 5.8 x 4 Ratio: 1.46
NOW - I realize that the ratio on Set B is a better match to the center, but I also like the idea of a "fatter" sidestone for more coverage. I wear a hefty size 8.5 on my right hand so coverage is key.
Can anyone help me visualize this? I keep drawing it on paper but they all look small to me and I don't think they are that small!
The *closest* example I could find was this: http://www.diamondsourceva.com/Diamonds/EmeraldCutRings/Emerald-Cut-1.18w0.99EC.asp The sidestones here have a slightly fatter ratio so I am thinking it would look similar to this. ?
