It is a very nice stone, but I would need more I am affraid. In this case i need a 3D file as the dark zones are more than I can judge and I know these tools pretty well.

Tell me though - what is the closest you and your other 1/2 can focus from (eg 6 inches, 14 inches?)

Thanks Gary,
I am a newbie, so I do not understand what you mean by "what is the closest you and your other 1/2 can focus from )eg 6 ins, 14 ins?) please explain.

What Garry is getting at is he thinks it might be a little dark up close.
I don''t think that is a huge issue.

Im more concerned with the lack of small to med virtual facets for some smaller fire.
The ASET/IS confirm what I was worried about with the other picture.
Again if you could see it and return it I would consider it.
But buying it with no chance of return I am a little leery.
This one needs to be seen in person.

Thanks Storm, unfortunately, I can''t see it in person and too much cost will be involved for shipping too and fro. I am overseas.

I am a bit worried about the small corners and narrow drop pattern and I am not sure whether I like it.

Storm, could you show me a few examples of ec patterns(internally), for me to visualise what kind of pattern I would like most??

The best way to see pics of different ones is hit the search link above then set the forum to show me the ring then type in EC and hit search.

Yes, but most of the times, you cant see the clear internal patterns as it should be in a graphic. Like how with wider corners and broader drop pattern should look like. Real diamonds unlike graphic, shine and sparkle too much and obscure the patterns.

Sorry, if its too much to ask.

I plan on doing an article about it eventually for the PS journal so it would be good to do some.
I will work on it as time allows and post them over the weekend.

I am with Garry and Storm on this one. It needs to be seen, and I think you can probably find a livelier emerald cut, but many like the more sedate look that some emerald cuts have, so it is very much a matter of personal taste.

Thanks Wink for your input. You have phrased in very well - thats the key word "livelier" ec! Thats what I want and not so much a sedate look stone. The search goes on!!

Hi Lorelei (:wavey):

Yes! He sure is () () He has helped me alot in my search for an ec. I am soooo grateful to him, I do not know what I would do without him - I wouldn't dare to venture into the world of online diamond buying!!
