Re: which 3ct emerald cut stone:h vs i? smoke coming out of
My own stone that I'm trading in is a 1.8 ct emerald cut measuring 8.10 X 6.61 X 4.16mm, 67% depth and 75% table.
This one that we saw in person that I had emailed about a while age, didn't look larger enough than mine, to either of us:
http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-search?stockno=LD04468633
9.59 x 7.23 x 4.94 mm, 61% table, 68.4 depth.
So now we have 3 possible ones that I found:
1. This one that we saw in person recently looked much larger. It sparkled more than my diamond, but when looked at directly, it was kind of a dark stone - not yellow, but dark, like someone had turned the lights off inside. I could see the inclusions a bit, but could maybe live with that. Size-wise, it's what I'm looking for. So I kept it on the list.

9.90 x 7.51 x 5.04 mm, 65% table, 67.1% depth.
Here is its picture, and it's got the same darkness there too.
2. This one below, which I have not seen in person, has measurements in between the above 2. I don't know how it will compare to mine, size-wise.

9.68 x 7.56 x 4.97 mm, 68% table, 65.7% depth
And there is a video of it:

What do you guys think of this one?
3. Finally, there is this one:
http://www.adiamor.com/Diamonds/I-VS2-Affinity-Cut-Emerald-Diamond/D22236080
9.94 X 7.63 x 5.11 mm, 67% depth, 69%table
I can't get a video or ASET of it, and am not crazy about its inclusions, but its dimensions are attractive.
Here is a picture. Adiamor said it's eye clean, but I'm pretty sure I will see that cloud, if nothing else.
Should I be worried about any of the inclusions on this guy? Feathers being on edges, etc. especially? Is there anything I should ask of the vendor?
Any other opinions, on any of these 3 stones, or any suggestions on how I should proceed? Both vendors are willing to do a trade-in. (Others are not.)
I would have thought at this size, these all would look bigger enough than mine to sink a whole chunk of $$s into this, but for some reason, even that first one didn't, to either of us. Is it the table size that does it or what? So now I'm trying to look for things as close to 10mm as possible... 1.3 ratio, H/I color. I have to live with VS2, but depending on inclusions. At this bugdet, it narrows things down quite a bit.
