so far so good do you have an aset or IS image or more pictures?

 

[chrono]

Looks like a great stone. An ASET would be nice as added "insurance" to check out the stone, otherwise, I see no reason not to get it.

I think I have seen this before.

It is stone 1 (I believe) in the comparison I did last month.
I brought this diamond in and it was my second favorite. The other I bought. This is a nice 4 step in the Pavillion cut. Very semetrical. An exceptional stone. Well priced, as I remember. I just liked the proportions of the stone I got.

I am not saying that there are not better out there, but I would say it was the best I had seen in 2-3 weeks of looking, it is just that I found the one I bought the same day. If you check out my other threads, most of them center on emerald cuts. Storm, Hest, and Chrono among others will impart great advice on this subject.
Good luck in your search.
Regards,
Mario

I think it''s lovely. We can get overly critical on here, IMO. I would buy it, and see what I think it real life. It is NOT a dog in anyway.

I don''t know alot about emeralds but from the diamond picture that looked to be a beautiful diamond to me draws you right in

 

[chrono]

I like the Aset. Great memory, Mario, yes, we have seen this stone before. I still think it is a pretty EC and would buy it if I had the funds.

just my opinion - in an emerald cut or asscher cut, I would usually tend to go VS2 or higher clarity, because that cut is not as forgiving to flaws. I would be sure it is eye clean enough for you before buying.

 

[chrono]

The stone is a VS1 (which is a cleaner grade than a VS2) and I'm very sure it'll be eye clean. I can't even find the inclusion(s) in the magnified picture.

...but then again, I don''t know diamonds like a lot of people here. I only know what people have told me. Good luck!

OOPS! SORRY!!!!!!

Read that too quickly while doing other things at work. Thought I saw SI1. so sorry - just ignore my tired, before-coffee self.

Excellent diamond, I wish my fiance had your attention span (or PS) when he bought my EC!!

Mario,
That was an excellent link with good descriptions. Just a couple questions. I noticed you said the one you bought was very fiery. When you looked at the 1.02E how would you rate the sparkle, and fire? Did you find it something that was very concerning to you? Did the diamond look very elongated? I prefer the more tradional look of an emerald (less squarish). If you did not purchase the 1.15D do you think you would have purchased the 1.02E? Be honest anything else you want to mention about the diamond would be appreciated!


Another question for anyone out there. The ring setting I am looking at has tapered Baguette diamonds on the side with the emerald mounted in the center. The accompanying wedding band though will not fit flush against the e-ring. What are your opinions about the band not flush with the e-ring? any thoughts

Thanks

Sorry, RU, had a friend in town and have not been up with the forum.

It had some nice fire, but not nearly as much as the one I bought. The strong point of this diamond is the parallel lines, not so much the fire. I think the table is a little bigger on this one. Did you find it something that was very concerning to you? The only thing I did not like is when I held it with the tweezers, the claws reflected all through the diamond. I was told this happens but I had not seen it before of really on the diamond I took. (I would look but it is still at the appraiser while I decide on the setting). It was like the girdle provided a window for reflection all through the diamond. Maybe someone can weigh in here. This concerned me scinze I was going with a bezel.

Did the diamond look very elongated? No

I prefer the more tradional look of an emerald (less squarish). If you did not purchase the 1.15D do you think you would have purchased the 1.02E? About a 70% cahnce that I would have. Maybe I would have compared it with another. But as far as specs it was one of the best I could find for the price. I would say bring it in with at least another for comparison with your eye at an appraiser near you. It is worth the cost.
Good luck
