On the trail of the perfect emerald cut (1 - 1.25 carat)

[Hand]

Hi All,

Long time lurker, first time poster here.

I''m in search of an Emerald cut diamond for an e-ring, and have been having a tough time identifying just the right diamond.

Based on the collective wisdom of the board, I am most likely looking for a well cut (1A, 1B) eye clean diamond in the F,G,H color range with a weight of 1.1-1.25 carats, but am willing to be flexible for the right beauty.

Attached, please find attached an image of a possible candidate for which I have requested additional information (Sarin, Imagescope, ASSET if possible) which seems to meet the relevant objective standards, however I recognize that beauty (and value) come from more than just the numbers.

Details matching to the attached picture are as follows:

1.24 carat
VS1
H
Depth - 65.5%
Table - 64.0%
Ratio 1.45

I would appreciate any feedback from the community regarding this diamond (additional detail as it is provided) as well as suggestions regarding other candidates that you would enjoy wearing / giving / owning in the 5K - 6.5K range.

Thanks in advance!
Hand

only downside I see is the small corners/windmills and that is mostly personal preference.
You do lose some small flashes that normally come from that area.
Do you like the outline? Corner patterns?
Otherwise everything checks out :}

Thank you very much for the input!
