Who knows Emerald Cuts? and who Loves them?

[StVincent]

I am in the middle of my Diamond purchase and was hoping to get feedback from people who love emerald cuts...I posted in another unpopular thread about these stones to get feedback(GOt a few good inputs), and was hoping to see others with this title....here are the stone specs...


1st stone:
.80carat, VVS1-F:GIA certificate
7.04x4.40x2.73
depth=62%, table=74%
slight thick girdle


2nd stone:
.83carat, VS1-F:GIA certificate
5.88x5.07x3.17
depth=62.8%, table=74%
medium girdle

3rd stone:
.77carat, VS1-E:GIA certificate
this was cut less square more rectangle(no measures)
depth=70.6%, table=64%?(not sure)
medium to thick girdle

4th stone:
.82carat, VS1-F:GIA certificate
6.79x4.40x2.86
depth=64.7%, table=78%
thin to midium girdle?(not sure).

5th stone:
.83carat VS1-F:GIA certificate
Depth: 64.4%, Table: 63%
Polish: VG, Symmetry: GD
Girdle: Very thin-MED
6.22x4.81x3.10
THE 5TH STONE I HAVE NOT SEEN, just info on it.

they all are none florecence and no culet; and vary in a couple hundred to $400 in price difference, the VVS1(1st stone) being most expensive which I dont care to go towards.

I was told that very thin is no problem...just the extremely thin could be

Love them! They aren't very common where I'm from and people compliment me all the time!

I do get pretty ticked when they mistake it for Princess cut though.

I think I may have responded to the previous post, but I'll put my 2 cents in again. I LOVE emerald cuts. Just bought one, in fact, and am in the process of having a setting made.

In making a decision, you need to determine what length to width ratio you prefer. Do you like longer, more rectangular stones, or shorter stones that look more like a square (e.g. stone 2)? Personally, I like a ratio of about 1.5:1.

I would also be careful of stones whose tables are enormous (such as stone 4). They will make the stone look glassy. The depth and table percentages of stone 5 look quite good, but I would be wary of the "very thin" girdle. That's debatable, though.

Finally, you just have to trust yourself. I know you haven't seen stone 5, but of the 4 that you have seen, do any "speak" to you? If not, maybe you need to keep searching until you find one that does.

true...well stone 2 and 3 spoke, #3 was more in my mind an Emerald, since the ratio, and the way #2 shined it had all for sides darken when you twist it in the light, where as stone #3 had a staged refraction. the light bounced at different angles and gave depth to the look of the stone instead of a "flat" look.

I will see stone# tomorrow or the next day. I will post about it here.

For those who mistake the princess to the emerald....great time to sit and have a talk with that person

thanks

I love emerald cuts too.

Had a nice set which is missing in action since the quake.
Hope to find it sometime....soon.
I hope I hope

Mine was kinda 1.5:1, if I remember correctly.
Seems like I can't remember anything anymore anyway!

Hope you show a pic of what you decide on.

I just posted a few pictures of the stone I have for now. The ratio is not as rectangle as you may expect, but for the setting it works.


here is the post with the pictures (scroll down)
