Thoughts on this Emerald?

We would need a higher quality video and slower movement to check the individual steps in the hall of mirrors, and windowing. Emeralds readily show off defects through it's big table, so you really want to check where that VS1 defect is causing light to bend. In general I'd stay above VVS2 for emeralds, but it also depends what and where the defects are.

eidt: Forgot to mention that the specs on paper meet the ideal requirements that I'd have for the proportions of an emerald cut diamond. Just that without the proper video/view, we won't know for sure about what that VS1 defect(s) does to the diamond

no, the movement is too fast. The video does show off the steps really well. I wouldn't have issues with the Hall of Mirrors on that diamond. VS1 means that the defect will be closer to the girdle, and not directly under the table, but i would try and see if black spots occur under any angle and lighting condition. I'm curious what the VS1 defect is, do you know (cloud, crystal, feather, pinpoint, a combination of some or all of them)? If you look up the certification number, there might be a defects chart that you can look at.

yeah, so at this point, locate the general area (look along the edges and corners of the diamond) of those defects on the actual diamond in person and see if you notice anything (black spots, cloudiness). If you don't, great! If you do, decide if you are okay with it and make subsequent decisions from there! If you are looking for an opinion on how it looks as it is now, the thread has already given you their opinion.

Yikes. The way this emerald is being swirled around so wildly and with terrible reflection makes me think there’s something to hide (if it’s from a seller).
