What would you choose..

[Gothgrrl]

I have a emerald cut diamond that I want to set with sapphires. What should I choose.

1. emerald cut sapphires

2. trilliant cut sapphires

1.

 

[lizz]

Trilliants.

 

[reader]

3. Depends on how they are set...me? Upright center with E/W sides..

There''s something very elegant about emerald cut side stones. It''s a more traditional look.

Trilliants will give you a more contemporary look. Either way, make sure the color and cut are well matched.

Honestly, it should be your decision in the end.

I would do sapphire bags. I know a girl that has a ring like this but with an asscher....swoon....it is beautiful! Bullets would look great too.

 

[Gothgrrl]

Thank you for all your help. Keep ''em coming. Thanks!

 

[Gypsy]

I like either EC''s or the Bullet''s Tacori suggested.

 

[Gothgrrl]

I forgot to ask if anybody has photoshop and can post a picture of both ring, so that I can get an idea, I''d be so grateful.

Is there such a thing as trapezoid sapphires? I love the Leon Mege in IceMine''s gallery -an emerald cut set EW with traps!

 

[David_Lundahl]

If the EC center is north-south: Emerald Cut

If the EC center is east-west: Trilliant Cut

Just my .02

 

[Kaleigh]

I vote for #1.

 

[Gothgrrl]

I posted two choices to pick from and it''s interesting that some of you are suggesting alternatives. Hmmm....I never thought about traps...or baguettes. I like that some of you guys/gals are getting creative. Gives me more ideas on different side stones. Cool!

I like this idea GothG - NS diamond + EW emerald cut sapphires.
Anyway, here are some variations you asked about, if you would like to see EW center i need to know your diamond size please.

I really like how it looks in image #2

 

[Scintillating]

I vote for emerald cuts all the way!

[Diamond*Dana]

Emerald Cut or Trapezoids

 

[FireGoddess]

IMO...EC sides would be divine.

 

[Allium]

I''d go emerald cuts, step cut traps or step cut half moons. Not too fond of trillions.

 

[Kay]

Trapezoids

 

[Gothgrrl]

Thanks for the pictures. Now I have to consider baguettes. ( l.o.l.) I don''t have the specs on my stone. It is the stone my father gave to my mother. So it''s very special to me. I have always loved her stone, and always wanted it. Anyhow, thank you for all the info. I''m more confused as ever.

 

[Gypsy]

The saphire baguettes are my favorite from that wonderful collage. close second are the EC''s. Yummy!

 

[diamondseeker2006]

Side emeralds, then baguettes.

 

[UCLABelle]

EMERALD CUTS YUMMY!

 

[Alistra]

Emerald cuts for sure!!!

 

[Gothgrrl]

Thanks for all the responses. After much thought, I think I''m going to go with ec''s, like nicole richies ring. Her''s was 3 ec''s. Anyhow, most of you replied ec''s anyways.
