I purchased my emerald cut, and am very happy with it! I bought the stone I fell in love with -- 1.56 D, VS 2, Depth 63.8, Table 67, Medium Girdle, 7.98 x 5.84 x 3.73.
I'm still hooked on reading these boards! And I have a question on emerald cuts maybe someone could help with.
Is there a way to estimate what the spread should be on a good emerald cut of a given weight, using the perimeter at the girdle as a guide?
When I was looking, I saw many stones that were considerably smaller to the eye for the same carat weight -- some were deeper, some had thick girdles. Here and there, I saw one that appeared larger.
Is it realistic to attempt to make any judgment on the cut based on comparison of perimeters? And I'd guess there's a point at which bigger is not better!
Thanks,
Hope
