Hi!
I’m trying to decide between three emerald cuts:

https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut/1.52-carat-d-color-vs1-clarity-sku-10853696?a_aid=55f8cd4e21a11
https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut/1.22-carat-e-color-vs1-clarity-sku-10909246?a_aid=55f8cd4e21a11
Could you help with this decision? Thanks!
I would definitely skip the 1.52 D VS1 – it’s too dark down the middle without alternating light and dark facets.
I like the faceting and L/W ratio of the 1.22 E VS1 more, but there’s a big difference between it and the 1.51 D VVS2 in terms of size, price, and lab vs. natural. So I’d decide between those two depending on how you value those differences.
They’re both similar in terms of cut. If carats aren’t important, I would go with the 1.02 D VVS2 and save money.
Thank you so much for your answer! I stupidly linked the wrong diamond. I meant to link this one instead of the natural diamond:

Taking the 1.52 one out of the equation, and understanding that there’s a steep difference in size and price, would you pick the 1.51 or the 1.02? Thank you again!
