I have started researching diamonds and to be honest just struggling to figure out the game if you will. My amazing girl friend would like a emerald cut diamond. I am on a budget of 10k. For this cut what is the best clarity, color, and carat? She has slender fingers so I am not sure what the best length and height would be for this cut.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.
Thanks so much for your response. Sorry for getting back so late work and life have been so hectic.
I am looking for set in platinum, probably a solitaire or be set between two smaller emerald cut diamonds.
Thanks so much for your recommendations.

I really like the first one. What do you think?
The first diamond is very nice. How do you think it would look with that color in a three diamond stone setting?
Absolutely fine. Just speak to them beforehand and make sure they go with HI color sidestones.
