Calling @Matthews1127, @OoohShiny and other step cut aficionados!
I'm on the hunt for a half carat (or thereabouts) loose emerald cut diamond. My budget is under $1000AUD to avoid duty etc, so I'm happy with down to about J colour and eyeclean, but that's where it ends! I am clueless about step cuts as I have never owned one, but have seen a few of them IRL and would love to own one as a contrast to all of my RBCs, probably in a delicate solitaire necklace or bezel RHR. I have considered asschers too, but figure for my budge they'd be microscopic!
My preference is to stick with Blue Nile as I have a voucher, and shipping/returns to and from Australia is easy, but it's not absolutely essential. My basic understanding is that numbers don't matter as much with emerald cuts as RBs, which is all I know.
To start the ball rolling, any thoughts on this one?
Thank you in advance!
