Pls help me find an emerald cut :)

[TwoPointSixFourCt]

Next year will be our 15-year wedding anniversary. We are going to celebrate by upgrading my wedding set. I’d love to find a 3 ct. emerald cut, VVS2, E, lab diamond. Cut is the most important quality to me. Would you kind folks give me a guess about how much I would pay for a stone like this? Do you have links to any specific stones I should look at?

You all are amazing. Thank you in advance for any help .

PS, I ordered an Amazon ring for $40 just to see if I’d like this size of emerald cut diamond lol!

I worked with Jon of Distinctive Gem for my emerald cut. He's wonderful to work with, and I ended up with a beautiful diamond. He'll work within your budget.

If you put those stats into Rare Carat, you'll find 3ct EC stones range from 10K to 13K USD. If that fits into your budget then there are a lot of stones to choose from but as @Diamond Girl 21 said, you might want to see what Jon can do for you. Emerald Cuts are hard to judge virtually.

Thank you. I’ve found rarecaret to be expensive compared to other sites. I’ll contact John to see what he can do. I also need a halo necklace setting that I may see if he can order.

If you're not colour sensitive then try dropping to FGH and clarity to VS1. If size doesn't matter as much then look for 2.6-2.8ct. Depending on your setting, you may well not notice the difference in weight visually. Good luck!

Diamonds by Lauren would be another vendor to reach out to and ask about options. (I'd recommend Jon at DG again but he's been mentioned several times already!) DBL does a great job of finding what you are looking for within your budget too.

They have this 2.74, F, VS2 beauty for under $5k:

2.74ct F VS2 Emerald Lab Grown Diamond

This is an amazing 2.74ct F VS2 Emerald Cut Lab Grown Diamond. The cut on this stone is top notch. Great size for weight and clarity.

Video goes the wrong way but looks promising - 3.17 ct, D, VVS2, for $7,100

Check out Ritani and Adiamor - they often have much lower prices for lab diamonds.

Example:

3.02 Carat E VVS2 Emerald Lab Grown Diamond IGI Certified 516274522 Affinity Cut - D49968067

3.02 carat, Emerald, E Color, VVS2 clarity, IGI Certified Diamond, Affinity Cut Lab Grown Diamond, D49968067

www.adiamor.com

Based on this, I probably wouldn't want to pay more than $6-7k unless you were getting a branded cut.

If you find ones you like on other websites, put the IGI numbers or stats into these and see if you can find them for less.
