I've been searching and searching for Emerald cut as well!! The stones I'm looking at are smaller 2.25-2.5ct. I think that stone looks beautiful in the picture, and I prefer a long/more rectangular cut as well. I would absolutely buy and love that stone forever purely based on the stats and picture. Is it a decent price for your budget?
I'm having a really hard time finding anything above H color though, do you have suggestions where to look? I've looked at Rare Carat, James Allen, 1215, Vrai, Brilliant Earth, Clean Origin, Miadonna, and Ritani. So far 1215 and Vrai have the closest to what I'm looking for in my price range. If you have any advice for me, please share!!
The color, clarity and length to width ratio on this emerald cut looks great, I don't know what the correct angles etc are needed for best light return, but I think if it is pleasing to you, it is a good buy!
