Please help me evaluate this emerald cut diamond

@MamaBee- I like the plain band better. I think the baguette competes with your Emmy.

Thank you @Dmndsr4evr11 I agree...I just tried it on with my slimmer baguette band. The baguettes are longer. I think it looks better. I have to go into a store today so I can’t wear it outside yet. I’ll post a pic next week. The ring is a little big. When I wear a band it pushes it to the thicker part of my finger. It fits the best there. I’m really hesitating getting it sized…even after it’s insured. My insurance company doesn’t insure during repairs. I wish David Klass was nearby..I don’t trust any jewelers near me.

@MamaBee - I totally hear your point. My e-ring should really be a 4.25 as the 4.5 really spins in the winter even when I’m wearing it with my eternity band by IDJ-sized 4.25 and a thin Tiffany milgrain band in between. Doesn’t spin in the summer though so I wanted a 4.5. I totally understand your hesitancy to get Emmy resized by a jeweler you don’t/ can’t trust. I also understand how it fits better with a band as it sits higher up on the finger which is a little larger. Maybe try the silicone sizer so it fits better alone if you prefer wearing it without a band.

Can you recommend a silicone sizer? I tried a few on Amazon and they didn’t feel comfortable.

@marcy I agree…That’s why I love baguettes..I love the shimmer. I think emerald cuts and baguettes are quietly elegant. I will love having both the ACA and emerald cut. This is the last big purchase…Fingers and toes crossed!
I‘m so obsessed with the emerald/asscher thread!

Now I want to roll over and laugh but I understand your feeling MB, but I thought EVER was forever, I think we jewelry lovers (especially us diamond heads), always love the glitter and sparkle, and I think this ring is to die for gorgeous and I'd buy from Costco also.

Kate! I missed you!! It really is my last big purchase. The next purchase will be a house closer to my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren..

3 houses? missed you mucho so very nice to 'see' you.

@Bayek No..Haha we will sell the one in Pa..My hubby’s last day of work is next Monday. He’s finally retiring..We need to be nearby my other son because he will be looking over his brother when we pass. We don’t plan on going anytime soon..but we have to get David set up there. He asked us to move closer to them.
It will take a while to get this house in condition to sell. We have some issues we have to address before that can happen.

I like the plain band the best, but I actually prefer no band. Emmy is fabulous all by herself!

Me too. additional bands are distracting.

 

[MamaBee]

Emmy still isn’t insured so I put her away until yesterday. I got so tired of waiting for USAA to insure her I started wearing her yesterday. I wore her with my skinniest baguette channel set band so it wouldn’t scratch the setting. Emmy is a little big so the band pushes her down the finger where she fits better. I can’t wear her without a band because the lack of wedding band bothers me..

I’m wearing a blue blouse so she looks a little blue!

Beautiful! Hand pics please @MamaBee.

Thank you @Dmndsr4evr11! Emmy will finally be insured at midnight tonight..It’s been a long painful process. They usually insure for the purchase price..but I got the buy of the century so they couldn’t insure it for purchase price. We’ve come to an agreement..so tonight I can wear it freely outside. I was on the phone with them for the last hour..I took one pic! I’ll take more tomorrow..

@MamaBee - I’m sorry to hear about the painful process of insuring Emmy. Glad it’s all set and you can enjoy her without worries.

Thank you! I’m so glad she’s finally insured. I started wearing her anyway but mainly in the car.
