Weird corners: Is this a good emerald cut? (video, but no ASET available)

[diamondhoarder]

Hi emerald cut experts. I'm looking a good value but well cut emerald cut to make a 3 stone ring. I have this one on hold for me, and there is no option to get an ASET for it

I'm trying to work out if it looks like a good performer or not. It seems to have plenty of life in the video, but I'm thinking its a bit of an odd shape for an emerald cut. but maybe this can be disguised with claws once its set? ......

Opinions greatly appreciated

IMO (no emerald expert), it looks like the steps are lighting up pretty nicely. I'm thinking it may be a decent performer.
I see what you mean about the windmills. I tend to like mine more angled. I do think double claw prongs would tend to
draw attention away from the corners. Not sure how much though...we need a CAD...

If you feel you need to disguise a pretty major aspect of a diamond then I would say keep looking.

What's weird with the corners? Is it that the left side of a chamfer is a different angle than the right side? That's not a deal breaker for ME, but I agree, one should not have the urge to disguise an aspect of a stone.

Nothing bothers me more than viewing an EC on the P2!!! I believe the stone needs to be positioned vertically, for best examination. I agree: CAD would be very helpful.
Based on the video, it appears to be a winner, but more visual aids would help to make that determination.
If the shape bothers you, this isn’t your diamond; it’s best to keep looking...

Not sure what your preferred ranges are, but these two antiques diamonds are quite pretty.
