I love Emerald cut diamonds- well, certain Emerald cuts. This is a great one.

It flashes bright white bars of light with even a small amount of movement.

The corners are nicely chiseled- creating generous sized triangular corner facets.

The diamond has enough body color for GIA to grade it M color - yet the face up is quite white. Could be the faint fluorescence is a help and the cut certainly produces a lot of white flashes that hide body color.

The stone is eye clean.

Any specks you see in the pictures/video are dust.

The stone looks great in person
