The GIA Certificate for this diamond:
This diamond is a beautiful diamond, with beautiful diamond color rated at H. The diamond clarity is rated at SI1, but it is better than eye-clean. It is even hard to see anything under a loupe, and as you can see in the certificate the diamond only has some minor feathers near the edges.

This is just a beautiful diamond, the shape, the diamond color, the diamond clarity… just beautiful. I even checked it against the HCA and it also came out with a HCA rating of 1.4, which is excellent.

You can see the GIA certificate:
This diamond is a beautiful diamond with a great shape, is very clean and has great color. The diamond color is unusual, being that the diamond is I color, most Emerald diamonds already start showing some of the yellowish tinging by I or even at H. This diamond is rated I but you don’t notice the yellowish tinging yet.

Best Emerald Diamond For $6000 Budget

The diamond is this 1.10 carat Emerald diamond, with G color and VS2 clarity. The diamond is an Ideal cut Emerald diamond, and it sells for $5,460.

And you can see the GIA certificate for this Emerald diamond:
This Emerald diamond is a great example of how Emerald diamonds expose more of their internal flaws than other shapes of diamonds. This diamond is very clean, with just some small crystals. Those crystals would not be visible in any other diamond shape, but they are slightly visible in this Emerald diamond.
Of course, they are only small crystals, so they don’t harm the appearance of the diamond. I am just pointing out how in the Emerald they are more exposed than in other diamonds.

Best Emerald Diamond For $2500 Budget
By · CommentsAs mentioned, it is time to move on to looking at Emerald diamonds.
I already wrote an article about Emerald diamonds and what qualities you should be looking for, what to avoid, and what to ignore, but I will now briefly review the main points.
The Emerald Cut Diamond
The facets of the Emerald cut diamond are very long and open. This exposes the internal flaws and the slightest shading of color to the naked eye, much more so than a tightly faceted diamond like a Round diamond. the Emerald diamond is not as brilliant as the Round and Princess cut diamonds, but you will get much more fiery flashes of light due to the long facets.
And now on to today’s recommended Emerald cut diamond..
Today’s recommended diamond is the best Emerald diamond for a $2,500 budget. The diamond is this 0.70 carat Emerald diamond, with G color and VS2 clarity. The diamond is a Premium cut Emerald diamond, and it sells for $2,220.

Best 3 carat (plus) Princess Diamond
By · CommentsI have been concentrating on Princess diamonds for a while now, and have decided that it is time to move on to another shape of diamond. Do you have any preferences as to which shape I should approach next? I am leaning to Emerald diamonds, but let me know in the comments (or by email) if you want me to comment on something specific.
Before I move on to another shape, I will conclude the Princess diamond recommendations with today’s recommended Princess diamond. Today’s recommended Princess diamond will be a big and expensive diamond – a Princess diamond in the range of greater than 3 carats.
