I am considering purchasing an emerald cut diamond which I would have set in a bezel for an east west pendant. I want this for daily wear (professional job - most days dressed nicely business casual). I want it to be apparent but not ostentatious and I’m having a very difficult time deciding which size is appropriate and photos I can find online don’t seem consistent in terms of how a 1c vs 2c etc appears. I know I want at least one carat and am really debating whether a 1.25 vs 1.5 vs 2-2.5 is best.

As a second related question, I want this to be well cut and am considering buying a lab stone from BGD to help with this. Is the premium charge justified for his EC in your opinion? Any thoughts or photos of a similar design?
