Ok YES PLEASE. This is amazing. I didn’t realize that your original ring was an emerald cut close to the same size as the new ring. Now knowing that, I totally agree that you should go for something different! Especially if you’re keeping the original and can still wear it if you ever miss the step cut look!
Wow, that big, a VVS1? Looks pretty amazing. Do you have the GIA report? Other pics? It looks old cut-ish. Can't tell exactly from the pics. But it sure does look clear.
