We went to the "big" city today and I found an EC diamond I really liked. It didn''t have any certs with it so I don''t have any specs but after looking at several they had in the store this is the one that caught my eye the minute they pulled it out. It''s a great size, icy color and very lively.

It is .55 E SI2. The inclusions are light and not visible naked eye but you can see them in my blown up images below. One of them reflects up through the neighboring step cuts.

I had it mounted in a basic YG solitaire.

Out of focus but I couldn''t believe all the facets you can see looking diagonal across the stone.

Thank you, I Love Asschers. I keep trying to see if I can find the inclusions naked eye and I can''t. I can easily see them with my loop but they aren''t too bad for SI2. The lady that helped me today even commented this was very clean for a SI2 diamond. Karl and Chrono often said you have to see fancy cut stones so that is what I did. I looked at 6 diamonds before they brought this one out and this one really immediately got my "ooh" response.

I''m really loving these ECs lately... I remember reading a thread that another diamond that you''ve had your eyes on have been sold? did you get this to replace that?

Marcy, I love it! Great job scoping out a nice stone. I agree, you have to see it with your eyes on fancy cuts.

D&T, I really find I am being drawn to the classic elegance of an emerald cut stone.I told my sister yesterday that shape was originally my favorite when I started liking jewelry.Then I went through marquis, oval, trillion, round and now I am back on emerald cut.Yes, this was the replacement to the one I was looking for online.



Thank you Motownmama.



Thank you Steph,The table on this one isn’t in the desired range for an EC but it sure works for me.



Thanks Michelle.It’s always good to find the stone you love.

Thank you Tuckins.When they brought out SI2 I thought I’d be rejecting those the minute I saw them but this one is very clean.



Tacori, yes they are difficult to photograph but I am enjoying giving it a “shot”.Ha Ha.



Thanks Lorelei.I appreciate your tips and help in my search.

Very, very nice marcy. I love how elegant it looks, and I would never guess that little sparkler is an SI2!

Po, I tend to like different things too. I tried many settings yesterday with this diamond but always went back to the basic setting.

I can''t believe that''s an SI2. It''s really gorgeous! Congrats... I too am an emerald cut fan. I hope to have one of my own someday, and if it''s as lovely as yours, I will be THRILLED! I love the yellow gold setting too. Pure class!

Thank you DeeJay.

Thanks Stacy. I hope you get an EC someday too. I think my colored stone RHRs will be getting ignored for awhile.
