Hiiiii so I bought a very very inexpensive emerald recently to play around with. I don’t know much about emeralds—I have tiny pair of studs from Lucy’s in Cartagena but that’s it.
The stone I bought is very light in color and definitely has some windowing going on. The color looks a little different depending on the lighting (as I’ve read happens?) and I can’t quite get the picture right (also happens.) It’s pretty, and I like it, but doesn’t really say “emerald” to me. When I bought it I was thinking of a three stone or toi et moi ring.
Anyway, I found a video of an emerald that seems pretty similar to me, but costs wayyyy more. I would love it if the PS family would explain the differences between the two stones, and school me a bit on emeralds. My stone is 2.21 carats.
I did what I could with the video so also let me know if you’d need additional shots. Thank you all!

Please bear with me I’m trying to get the video I took up.
