Today’s recommended diamond is going to be the best Emerald cut diamond for a budget of $5000.

1.03 carat, G-VS2, Excellent cut Emerald diamond

 

As you can see, the flaw of the Emerald cut diamond is that the large, open facets leave the internal flaws much more visible than they would be in most other shapes. This diamond has that visible inclusion near the center, which will be noticeable as a speck in real life, but has others on the edges that are not that visible. Besides for that speck, this diamond has a beautiful shape and is otherwise reasonably clean.

Add to that the great diamond color (Emerald diamonds also show color tingeing before other shapes due to the open facets, so we go with a slightly better color rating), and the great price, and this Emerald cut diamond is a great buy.

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.

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.

As 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.

Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Today I am going to recommend a full package deal – the whole set including the diamond, which will be an Emerald diamond, and the Emerald diamond engagement ring setting.

Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring

The Emerald cut diamond is a beautiful diamond shape that has benefits and has it’s own issues. 

To be brief, (for more information see my article on Emerald cut diamonds), the Emerald diamond is usually a bit cheaper than many of the other shapes, especially the Round Brilliant diamond. This fact makes it possible for you to buy a beautiful diamond and save some money, or to buy something perhaps a little bit bigger or with slightly better diamond clarity rating than what you had planned.

The Emerald diamond is not as fiery and brilliant as other diamonds, but it does have broad flashes of light. This happens because of the large and broad open facets on the face of the diamond. These large facets also leave the diamond exposed a bit more to the color levels being more noticeable and to inclusions being more visible.

On the other hand, the broad flashes of light are captivating. The cropped corners and the stepped edges, all make this diamond particularly elegant.

Recommended Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring

Today’s recommended diamond for the Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring 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 $5,520.

http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Emerald-Diamond-1380440.asp

This diamond clarity is nice and eye-clean, the inclusions are not easily visible. The diamond color is very nice with the diamond color of G not yet showing any yellowing of the diamond. The shape of the cut is fabulous, with the ratio being 1.38:1.

Emerald Diamond Engagement Ring

The Emerald diamond is best set in a diamond ring setting that is a solitaire, though it also does very well with a minimal number of accent stones such as baguettes. The ideal setting for the Emerald diamond engagement ring is the four-prong setting, as the prongs grip the diamond nicely and still allow maximum visibility for the diamond, keeping it highly accentuated. With the elegance of the Emerald diamond, it is best to get a nice setting, but not too fancy, and to accentuate and focus more on the Emerald diamond itself.

For the Emerald diamond recommended above, I would recommend this setting:

The 18k White Gold Cathedral Reverse Tapered Diamond Engagement Ring. The reverse taper is a simple design that leads the eye to focus on the diamond.

This setting, in white gold or yellow gold, costs $600, and in platinum costs $1175.

To remind you, you can use the James Allen coupon code of ‘RINGSUM’ upon checkout and get a 10% discount on the setting (not including the diamond).

This is my recommendation for today, for a beautiful Emerald diamond engagement ring, including both the emerald diamond and the diamond ring setting, for a total price of $6,120.

As you can see from the diamond’s GIA certificate, this diamond has very few inclusions, and they are placed around the edges. That makes the diamond clarity rating of SI1 a great factor, as it makes the diamond cheaper despite the clarity not having any significant effect on the diamond.
