Thanks to everyone for the help with looking at OECs. Something was gnawing at me and after browsing all the SMTB threads I realized I equate OEC with a warm color and no matter the cutting, a d-f-g stone was going to bug me.
I'm taking @Dreamer_D 's advice and looking for an MRB. My original stone was a transitional and more splintery so I think the setting will work with that cut.
About that cut. I am even more clueless about modern stones than older ones. I browsed Ritani and distinctive gems and am having a hard time telling what a good cut would be. I'd prefer to stay on the less expensive side of things since this is a special occasion ring amd i wont get the wears I do with my ER. That and I can't keep banging the channeled emeralds around. So I am looking for great optics and just a knock out sparkle stone. Just needs to be between 9 -9.3mm
I tried searching Ritani for 8x but wasn't sure what I was looking for. Anyone want to help me shop?
