Hi while I’ve been on the lookout for that perfect Burmese ruby, grown weary with frustrations and have been venturing to look at another item on the bucket list: no-oil Colombian emerald.
First, came across this 1.17ct cushion cut emerald with fresh certificate, designated as Muzo no-oil per (?local) independent certificate. Quite pleasing to the eye. This one is a bit more expensive.
Then found another no-oil Colombian emerald, 1.16ct emerald cut, that’s not designated specific as Muzo on the certificate. Also mentions presence of substances of cutting process in the certificate, I assume that’s the norm. Price is better, cheaper by around $1300 USD.
Aside from Muzo designation, does the 1.17ct cushion have anything going for it over 1.16ct emerald cut to justify higher price? Aesthetics wise colour look similar and I don’t see any major flaws in either stone. If you see anything interesting on the videos please let me know. Probably will have to decide within next 24 hours…
