Urgent help with emerald cut again

[AprilBaby]

So we bought a gorgeous emerald cut but it's just shy of being big enough for the setting. Find me the best possible emerald as close to 7x5 possible? Prefer G/H but could do I. Would also prefer james Allen but not absolute. Thanks guys!

What is budget April.

On hold, what do you think???? This is $500 more than he already spent and $6000 would be really stretching it!

Absolutely. This one is lovely.

April your choice has performance issues. Neils is much better.

 

[AprilBaby]

Thank you both very much!!!!

Out of curiosity, what is the performance issue?

 

[Gypsy]

How the facets light up. Compare yours to Neil's. See how the facets are all most all bright. Plus it has nice corners. Look at the one you posted you see that it has a couple very dark facets. You want to avoid that.

Thanks! I need to learn more about fancy shapes. Too bad she doesn't want a round! Will give info to DS.

We're here if you do want to learn more about fancies. A lot of it is just training your eyes and getting used to the different vendor's photo set ups.
