Hi all
Im new to pricescope and am looking to surprise my wife with an emerald cut diamond ring for a special anniversary of around 1ct. She has wanted a squarish emerald cut for years after having seen some antique asschers and squarish type emerald cuts in a high end jeweller near where we live. She doesnt want a classic square asscher, she likes the slightly rectangular look which I think still counts as an emerald cut. The only online jeweller I have come across that has any of these and also decent viewing angles on them is James Allen. Are there any other vendors with these shaped diamonds that also have pics/ videos of them?
I have found two options which are on hold for me but Im not sure if they are a good deal and if they are well cut. I have read the cut advice on emerald cuts on this forum and these two have a slightly larger depth than is recommended as ideal but I think that the outline shape of them and the facet patterning is just what my wife likes. She has pointed out diamonds to me before and talked about being able to see rectangles of different sizes inside the diamond going down towards the centre. I want to make sure the diamond I choose has this and also sufficient fire and white light return (although I understand from my research that this will not be prominent as in an ideal cut round).
Please could you give your opinions on these two:

My wife likes white gold and I am thinking of a halo ring which will strongly accentuate the clipped corners (octagonal look) of the diamond. I am wondering whether the I color stone would look too tinted in the white metal halo ring? But am I paying too much for a higher color with the E when my wifes other diamonds are generally F-G H color? If I went for the more expensive diamond I would probably have to opt for an inexpensive plain setting with no accents. The ring will be in addition to her round brilliant engagement ring rather than a replacement for it and she will probably wear it on the other hand. The engagement ring is G color solitaire so I want this new ring not to look massively different in color to her engagement ring. Budget is ideally $3500 - $4500 for the diamond (although the E color diamond above is quite a bit more than this).
Im in the UK and there is not a great range of nice emerald cuts to choose from over here compared to what seems to be available online. Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
