Hello everyone,

First of all, I will say thank you in advance for your help and advice.

I need to find an EC diamond within the week in order to meet my deadline. I live in Australia and there are no vendors here who can call in EC's or provide me with a video of EC's I am interested in. All the selections I am choosing are based overseas therefore it's been really difficult.

The vendor that I am dealing with can only provide me with an image and its all I can go off at this point. I have chosen 3 EC's and if there are any EC experts who can look at an image and know if it's a dud or not, please let me know.

Thank you so much!

I wish I could help you with those images. But I can't. I don't know anything about the photo set up. If they can't get you a video or ASET then... I don't know what to tell you.

Would you consider buying from a US vendor that provides videos, ASETs and so forth instead? You really shouldn't buy a diamond online without the most information possible.
 
Thank you Gypsy!

Can you recommend any vendors in the US? I have had a look but not sure which ones offer videos and aset reports.
 
James Allen and Good Old Gold.
Please give us budget, color (H or better usually) and clarity (VS2 or better usually) and requirements and let us help you.
 
I am looking at anything similar to the above specs and my budget is $8-9k.
D-F
If-vs1
1.20-1.30 ct
Unfortunately, GOG do not accept international cards therefore I could not go through them. Thank you!
 
Does James Allen?

Thanks! Also, I recommend you consider G color. And VS2 that is eyeclean.
 
I'd guess the third one is the best of the three but it is difficult to tell - I agree with the others (both ladies really know their stuff when it comes to Emerald cuts) there is not enough information to tell without an ASET and the different background colours and lighting are showing the stones at their best and hiding any potential problems they might have. Are you in Australia?
 
Gypsy, I've just been on JA and they do accept International credit cards :)

Arkieb1, thank you! yes I am based in Australia.
 
Great, give everyone your budget and your general size and colour preferences and people will suggest a number of diamonds from JA for you to consider.
 
You shop for emerald cuts by spread (dimensions) not weight. A 1.2 carat EC can actually face up smaller than a 1.0 carat EC depending on the depth and other factors of each stone.
 
Thank you so much Gypsy! I selected 3 diamonds and JA are going to get back to me with the aset reports within the next few days :)
