Looking for an emerald cut diamond!

laurenk · Apr 9, 2015

Hello, I dont know why but for a few months I've been yearning for an emerald cut diamond (I wear a princess currently). I want it set with side baguettes and in platinum. I Have no idea about what to look for with an Emerald cut so hoped some of you wonderful people may assist me! I tried a gorgeous ring on the other day which was 11 x 9 mm and loved it sooooo much!! I am not sure what carat size this may be? I have a budget of $35k and would ideally like to have the setting cost included in this. I don't like skinny emeralds but rather something that looks rectangular but chunky. I will consider looking at second hand or estate pieces but I'm unsure whether emeralds show or hide their colour? My princess is a g colour and whilst I'm a bit colour sensitive but I Havnt gauged what my limit is. No yellow tints at all though. I know there a heaps of vendors but is there someone who specialises in emerald cuts?

Emeralds show more colour than round brilliants.

I would absolutely look at estate pieces as well, though many of the large vintage ones I often see are lower then a G. Good Old gold is definitely very experienced in picking emerald cuts, I would suggest having them source them for you.
