The East-West Emerald Diamond
A 1.99-carat emerald-cut lab diamond at E color, VS1 clarity — drilled at two points and suspended by twin 14k yellow gold jump rings on a 4mm paperclip chain. The east-west orientation runs the long axis of the stone horizontal across the neck rather than vertical — wide, flat, and emphatic in a way that a vertically set emerald cut never is.
