Where should I buy?

The Emerald cut depth percentage is the ratio of the total depth (measurement from the table to the culet) and its width. The total percentage depth of this diamond is65,1%, what it is

.

The depth percentage for emeralds is calculated using the following formula:

Depth% = (total depth ÷ width) × 100

Emerald 1.5 carats (7.65 × 5.67 × 3.69 mm)% Depth:

Total depth: 3.69 mm
Width = 5.67mm

Depth% = (3.69 ÷ 5.67) × 100 =65,1%

Percentage depth is one of the most important measurements as it plays a critical role in the diamond's brilliance and appearance. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, light will leak out, making the stone less shiny and fiery. Deep cuts also add hidden weight.

The recommended percentage depth range for Emerald cuts is between60%e69%. Diamonds that fall outside this range are generally less desirable and are generally best avoided.

The facet size of this 1.5 carat emerald (7.65 × 5.67 × 3.69 mm) is within the normal range for 1.5 carat diamonds of this shape. Compared to the 1.5 carat Emerald reference diamond (see below), this jewel is hisenoughsize when viewed from above.In short, it's okay, this gem feels like its weight.

The importance of face-up size

Diamonds are sold by weight (carats), but it's important to understand that weight does not equally translate to physical size, particularly spread. Two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary greatly in cut, meaning one diamond can appear larger than the other, even if they are exactly the same weight.

The correct facet size should play an important role when purchasing a diamond. When a diamond is placed in a ring, your eyes will only see the area facing upwards, so you'll need to make sure it's the right size. Proper size also indicates a good cut, which means better light output. For example, if you can choose between a 1.5-carat rough-cut emerald with less luster and the same size face-up as a1.4 carat fine-cut emerald, Which would you choose?

1.5 carat emerald reference diamond

Observation:Emeralds facing up 9% below and 12% above the reference area Emerald diamonds are considered proper size when facing up.

*Estimated viewing area:The emerald cut surface is only an estimate (±4%). Due to the uniqueness of each stone, it is impossible to accurately calculate the face-up area given only the measurements of a single diamond.

The face-up area per carat is calculated by dividing the face-up area of ​​the diamond by its carat weight. It tells you how many square millimeters of surface area a diamond shows or would show with a weight of 1 carat. This can be helpful when comparing stones of similar weight, as it tells you how much friction per carat you'll get.

top surface= 41.21mm²
Weight= 1,5 ct

Area facing up per carat= 41,21 ÷ 1,5 =27,47mm²/ct

Emerald cuts with large, flat facets are not as good at covering color as round or brilliant cuts. For Emeralds, it is recommended to stay relatively high on the color scale. The choice of color also depends on a setting:

Because of their wide, open facets, emeralds reflect less light than brilliant cuts, which means they aren't very good at hiding inclusions. For Esmeraldas it is recommended to stay inside itVSresolution range (VS1, VS2, or higher).

Observation:You can always go down, but it will be increasingly difficult to find an eye-clear Emerald below the minimum recommended VS2 grade.

For the best value, use the lowest possible resolution that is still sharp to the eye. If a diamond is transparent to the eye, it doesn't matter if it's perfect or VS2. It will look the same as long as all other features are the same.

Diamond clarity refers to the presence and visual appearance of flaws within a diamond (called inclusions) or on its surface (called imperfections). Clarity tells you the extent to which those imperfections exist.

The amount of inclusions and blemishes is directly related to a diamond's value. Fewer imperfections mean a higher price and vice versa.

Gemological laboratories classify diamond clarity as impeccable (Florida), Internally Immaculate (SE), very little is included (VVS1, VVS2), very lightly included (VS1, VS2), slightly included (SI1, SI2) and included (I1, I2, I3).

The professional and unbiased assessment of the diamond's characteristics is reported in a diamond grading report, commonly referred to as a certificate. The certificate, although not 100% reliable, is necessary to determine the value of a diamond.

The standard for grading diamonds is broadly definedFAMILY- Gemological Institute of America. It is the most reliable and consistent lab in the industry.AGSThe (American Gemological Society) is not far behind.

If a diamond is not certified by the GIA or AGS, you can be pretty sure you're looking at a lower quality than stated. This puts you in a bad position of not knowing the true characteristics of the diamond, which almost always results in overpayments. That's why a certificate from a trusted classification laboratory is so important.

Make sure you always buy a GIA or AGS certified diamond. This is the only way to really get the quality you expect.

Blue fluorescence can have a positive, negative or no effect on a diamond. Diamonds in the lower color range (H or lower) can benefit from this as it can make them appear whiter and colorless. On the other hand, strong fluorescence can cause peeling (especially in the higher color rangeDG) to appear cloudy or milky under certain lighting conditions. One of the biggest benefits of fluorescent diamonds is that they generally cost less.

GIA classifies fluorescence asNobody,To faint,Average,Forte, eVery strong.

weak fluorescenceit will have no effect on the overall color and appearance. Fluorescence of this type is not an issue and should not be a purchasing factor.

average fluorescenceIn most cases, it will have little or no effect on color and overall appearance; however, colorless diamonds can sometimes show negative effects and should be examined in different light conditions before purchase.

Strong/very strong fluorescenceIt requires attention. Generally, it is not a good idea to buy a colorless diamond with strong/very strong fluorescence. As for the lowest color diamonds, even these can sometimes appear cloudy with intense fluorescence, so never buy a stone with this type of fluorescence without careful visual inspection.

The problem with diamond grading labs other than GIA or AGS is that they are lax and more inconsistent in their grading standards. A GIA H color is an IGI G color and an EGL/HRD F color. The same goes for clarity.

While it is true that IGI, EGL and HRD diamonds are sold at a discount, you can be sure that the same stones would cost less if they were GIA or AGS certified. Why; Because they would get lower grades and therefore a lower price. Discount stones lower than IGI, EGL and HRD with higher grades.

Diamond traders use IGI, EGL, HRD and the like to maximize their profits. They know they can sell diamonds with inflated ratings for more, even if they are sold at significant discounts. Some traders also use their internal certification, usually with the sole purpose of increasing their profits. These types of certificates are meaningless.

If you don't want to overpay and want to know exactly what kind of quality you're getting, avoid diamonds without GIA or AGS certification.

Buying shy means choosing a diamond that is just below the full carat or half carat mark. So instead of a 1ct stone you choose a 0.95ct stone? instead of 1.5ct you choose 1.4ct and so on.

As diamond prices increase dramatically in full and half carat weights, you can save a significant amount of money by purchasing diamonds. A weight reduction of up to 10% will result in a small difference in size, but so small that it will be barely noticeable, if at all.
