My Emerald arrived from Brilliance!

[ringbling17]

I got my ring today from Brilliance. It’s absolutely beautiful and they followed my setting instructions to a T.
I worked with Jen thru the whole process and she was excellent, responsive and kind.
The LGD is 2.75 carats G VSI GIA certed with a LW ratio of 1.5.
I was thinking of going even bigger but it was the first emerald I liked when I started looking and it got the Karl approval. I also got it for a fabulous price on Brilliance (I originally found it for more money on Ritani).
I had them set in a plain platinum setting Jen suggested and Brilliance did a great job with my modifications. I wanted claw prongs and the Diamond set medium height like a Berricle ring I had, also they added two rubies into the inside shank of the ring.
I’m very very happy with the overall transaction.
I was thinking of having David Klass customize a platinum setting for me but this setting is actually perfect.
Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my thread and helped me pick this Diamond.

Sweet flashes of color.

Thank you so much everyone. I’m really loving this Diamond. The ring setting also seems very sturdy and well built. It’s definitely not a flimsy ring.
I love the subtle sparkle that an emerald cut gives off. It’s just a very elegant cut imo.
I’m almost regretting not going bigger but I think for my lifestyle it would be too “fake” looking.
I’ll have to post photos next to my berricle. The berricle is 2.6 carats and a D color.

So beautiful!! I love it paired with your yellow gold band. I really want a step cut, I agree with you, they're so elegant!

Oooo! It’s really beautiful!! I love the classic setting too! Sheesh, makes me want to dip the toes in an emerald cut! Love it!

ETA did I miss your ring size?

I’m a size 5.5. I asked them to make it a loose 5.5 in case my finger swells when it’s hot.

Thank you everyone! I’m updating this thread with more photos I took.
I insured my ring with Jewelers Mutual for those thinking of insuring their lab rings. They didn’t give me any issues.
Two things I notice with emerald cuts are they are kind of hard to keep clean (I can see specks of dust and stuff, probably also depends on the setting) and I can’t seem to find a band that looks good with it.
Right now I’m wearing it with a CVB french cut band which I think looks nice. Also I have plain bands that look nice but I’m not sure a round Diamond band looks good with it.

Step cuts in general do tend to show more dust / oil / fingerprints, etc. It's the nature of the facet arrangements. Has nothing to do with it being a lab - it's still a diamond, and earth-mined have the same issues.

It's beautiful!

I find my ec shows dirt too. The round brilliant is much better at hiding dirt.

It is beautiful on you and I love it with all of your bands!
