Looking for Emerald cut...

[NYRugby]

I've been reading the posts for a few weeks now (you all seem tremendously helpful!)and have been trying to do my homework....BUT, the more I learn, the more I realize how much more I don't know! I'd like to buy an Emerald cut, and want a diamond which is stunning (then again, who goes out to look for crap?!). Anyway this link (http://www.bluenile.com/details.asp?pid=LD00630522) states that the cut is "very good". Am I missing something? Is crown height a mess or something? Are they dinging it b/c of the 1.76 L/W? Just looking for some views I probably overlooked.

Thanks in advance-
Chris

Hi Chris,

This diamond is very good if you are looking for one that is shaped like a Straight Baguette!
Although most people will recommend a ratio of 1.5, I also recommend a 1.3+ ratio, more like a classic matchbox.
