Emerald help

[ella524]

Hi! I'm looking for an emerald to make into a pendant, most likely with some sort of diamond halo. I've been reading through some of the emerald threads, but still would appreciate lots of advice! This is the one I am thinking about below, F1 treatment.

would appreciate lots of advice!

I think for meaningful (to you) advice -
Which parameter does this stone have that’s most important to meet budget?
What’s negotiable and what’s not?

-
For this stone
the table facet looks wavy/concave.
I don’t think that’s a small consideration, or at least something to not acknowledge.

Thanks for pointing out the table facet!

I feel like dimensions (at least 9/10 mm) with some glow are most important to me, while shape, color, treatment, origin are more flexible depending on price.

I think it is a bit of a hazy mess, tbh. It may "glow" but it looks barely gem-quality.

From the same vendor, this is a much nicer cut and much better clarity but it is yellow-green and only 3.11 and a little overdeep and still slightly more in price. So this tells you how much of a compromise the 4.71 ct one is.

With having to guess at the dimensions it is, this may or may not be another good comparison?
So with face up being being your #1 parameter-
It’ll be hard to do comparisons without contacting this vendor.

Ah thanks for the detailed comparison, I def see the difference in clarity and cut! It does seem like I might be able to get a better trade off between face up dimensions/price/ quality. Appreciate the insight!
