I agree with MissGotRocks. That diamond is large now and with a halo would be huge. I'd only go to 3 cts if you plan to wear it as a solitaire. It looks beautiful, though!

 

[Bonfire]

I know you really want VC’s Emilya but since he’s not setting outside stones at this time, Maytal Hannah or Steven Kirsch also do beautiful pave work. Something to consider.

You think it’ll be too much too? Yes this stone is OMG so beautiful!!!!! So WF didn’t have this diamond when I made my purchase, and late in the afternoon a day before my shipment date, they got this (maybe from someone upgrade/someone reviewing it/brand new) I don’t care where its from but suddenly this stone came up and they haven’t listed it in their web. I don’t know if flashes of fire can came from the lower half!!! I didn’t know such thing possible... so I’m also thinking of not Halo it, get some micropaved setting and keep the lower half being seen so I can enjoy the beautiful flashes from the lower half too... so I’m still thinking any kind of option... but indeed, this is a beautiful beautiful diamond! Even my DH said this diamond looks very alive! He likes it too we’ll see how it goes.... too early to say anything... and If I got a 3ct in the future I hope this diamond falls to fellow PSers

The most important thing is the diamond. The setting will happen. And as you can see, you might even change your mind about the setting. Personally, with such a perfect stone as a super-ideal, I would not want to cover it up with a lot of metal/halos...as I like to enjoy the sparkle from all sides. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy it now and see how you like it.

I didn’t understand why people like solitaire or this type of setting, now I do! Certainly do! Its too pretty to be covered up!

 

[LLJsmom]

I’m so happy it’s beautiful to you. Just enjoy wearing it for a little while. Let it speak to you. Yes. Super ideals are superb as solitaires. They should be allowed to take the stage alone cause they can handle the spotlight.

Is this stone the one you inspected?? The one you think its too warm?

What are the specs of your stone?

Its 2.61 H oh... I just read your older posts again and you’ve mentioned you got the 3ct one, so maybe not this one?

Is your heart set on a 3 carat VC Emilya? If yes, have VC cut the stone and make it. I really tend to think that he will not let you down. If he cuts the stone and you don’t like it, are you stuck with it? I was in his office yesterday and IMO, he really takes so much pride in all of his work, including his diamonds. There is a PS that has a 3 carat Emilya- I think @nala? It is a super, super, super stunning ring. Ultimately, try to decide what you want and don’t settle.

If you prefer a WF stone, maybe they can custom make a setting that you like? I went down a rabbit hole in my upgrade journey because I didn‘t listen to myself. I wasted a ton of money on my first jeweler (not a PS vendor) before I decided what I wanted. My stories are all over PS- I made a ton of costly mistakes before I found my way.

Try to listen to your heart. I am completely biased towards VC right now because my ring is so spectacular IMO. But, you need to do what is best for you.

As far as size, I think that is up to you. If your heart says 3 carat, then consider doing it. My ring is a 2.23 because that was the absolute top of my budget (in fact, I blew my budget-oops). If I had the budget for a 3 carat Emilya, I think I would do it.

You will make the right decision for you and I can’t wait to see your ring. I think a solitaire would be amazing and I think a halo would be amazing.

Thanks for the shout-out!!! Yes! I do have a 2.9 ESi1. And here’s the thing—I tried sooo many different halos—literally set and reset my stones—and there is none like the Emilya!

I tried to find your thread but I can’t find it anywhere, did you get your center diamond from VC too?

I don’t know if I want a Halo now.. I kinda mesmerized by side profile of sparkly diamond.. and I’m more confused now hahahhahaha

No. That diamond was a whole other journey! It’s is not a super ideal brand. I just got super lucky thanks to the very knowledgeable folks here on ps who convinced me to take a chance on it. Of course when It came in, it passed the idealscope test! It has med blue fluorescence which I love! And I didn’t pay would you would expect for a 2.90 E! Also, very lucky it has no visible inclusions for an Si1! I finally had the chance to compare it to my sister’s 1.94 ACA in lots of lighting conditions and guess what? I have ZERO regrets!! I didn’t notice a significant difference in their performance. My stone appeared so much brighter while hers had an ivory tint—bc it’s an I color. That was a significant difference that I did perceive under all lighting conditions. I’m not dissuading you from a super ideal. Definitely the safe way to go! But also, don’t make compromises on color either. If it bothers you in some lighting conditions, it will continue to bother you. You can find a good balance.

I definitely recommend that you keep it in a solitaire so that you can acquaint yourself with the nuances of your stone. That’s what I did! I don’t know what the return period is, but you should definitely take advantage of the entire window. It takes a while to get to know what you DO NOT like about your stone after the novelty wears off.

 

[LLJsmom]

No not the 2.61. I tried the 3.1 H.

oh, I’m so happy that I remembered your ring correctly. What a beauty!

No I do not agree with assuming that you will love every super ideal MRB. You’re way ahead of the game if you find a stone you love. It’s a big risk to get a custom cut. If you are mentally sure you are ready to love whatever results form the cut then proceed. If you can be picky about what you want to see, hang on to a stone you really like. Those are not easy to come by. I know. Over returned 4 of them. Then like @nala said give it time to get to know it. Then figure out the setting. Steven Kirsch does amazing halos as well. I am trying to make it work with him since I cannot have VC make my setting. And others have loved Maytal Hannah.

And I have had two settings from VC so I know the feeling of a VC setting.

 

[nala]

@LLJsmom—Tbh, your journey has caught me by surprise. Have you considered that maybe mrb’s are not for you?

 

[AllAboardTheBlingTrain]

I would definitely go for the stone that you already have on hold at WF and lock yourself into an easy upgrade journey if you know you want a 3ct and you’re a picky person. Tbh I think the star of the show should be the diamond and not the setting, no matter how beautiful a setting you get! Perhaps the solution is to currently get a setting that you can repurpose in the future, and once you have your ideal stone see whether you can get the setting of your dreams (eg by buying a preloved Emilya setting, or by contacting other jewelers who do beautiful pave work and would be happy to set your stone).

I couldn’t agree more with this statement!!! Not all super ideal MRB perform the same! I have 5 ACAs and help my mom got 2 ACAs, I returned 1 ACAs, lost 1 ACA, so I saw 9 ACAs so far and I can say not all ACA performs the same, to soften up the language, some I preferred more than the others. Even when I’m holding my phone the flashlight from my stone lower profile catch my eyes.. I need to think hard... really hard....

 

[LLJsmom]

@LLJsmom—Tbh, your journey has caught me by surprise. Have you considered that maybe mrb’s are not for you?

Hi @nala i am still considering MRBs, but just learning more about super ideals.

 

[munchee]

No not the 2.61. I tried the 3.1 H.

What’s your take about it? Is the cloud on its table have any effect on its beauty? Apart from being too warm for you, do you think it has good light performance? Or you’ve seen better?

 

[LLJsmom]

If you are referring to the 3.1 H I think it is good for a super ideal. Not the beat but good. Performance wise I prefer it to the F 2.635. I mean some sparkles and some brightness. But I think I’m biased because the 2.47 E ACA I have now is the liveliest of all the super ideals I have seen so far. And I have seen another H AGS that is whiter than the 3.1. But I don’t have much tolerance for tint. TBH the E I have is just a middle E, or a lower E. I’ve seen whiter ones.

If you have the time...... would love to see a video showing the live of your 2.47 E

 

[diamondseeker2006]

I really think what LLJsmom is experiencing is the same thing we all pretty much need to do....learn what we like! There are no bad superideal cuts. But different factors are more important to one person than another. A stone may have a perfect cut but be too tinted for one person, so they might actually favor a higher color stone that has a slightly different cut. You'd have to see that 3.1 ct stone and compare it to the one you now have to know which you favor. That's the only way to know.

You are really going to be in trouble if you start looking at E color! That will confuse you even more!

 

[LLJsmom]

Sorry. I won’t be posting videos. I’ll try to find some pics.

[munchee]

@LLJsmom thank you for the pictures!!!!! I can see its sparkle

 

[MissGotRocks]

For what it is worth, I see more brightness and precision in this stone that I do in your friend’s diamond. Her stone is pretty but just doesn’t pack that extra punch like the one on your ring finger does. Just my .02.
