It is super hard to give advice without seeing the stones. Are you able to post some pics?

I am a huge fan of asscher cut. If I ever get to own one, this would be my ring:

I just bought a pair of earrings with the same design as the ring.

Asscher. They are cut deep so a lot of the weight is under the crown so it might "look" smaller than one of the same ct wt. The beauty is in the depth. I tried on a 3 ct and it was like a deep glistening pool.

I believe asschers have more cuts than square emerald cuts. Are you getting this in the states or UK?

If it's an asscher then I personally think the cut should be pretty much perfect. I would only get one in these circumstances, but it is my favourite cut by far.

my e-ring is an emerald and it sparkles like crazy!! clarity is VVS2, if you are not planning on getting the best clarity you can afford or less than a 1 ct i think you are better off getting an asscher. IMO emeralds are prettier larger, in order to appreciate the beautiful step-cut.

I agree.
Emerald cuts work best in larger stones (provided one is in a position to buy a large stone).

It's hard to see asschers in person, so I thought I would post some pics of mine. I also was due for an upgrade on my original stone. I considered asschers and emeralds as well because I love the step cut look. But ultimately I'm a sucker for symmetry and I went with the asscher. However, as most will tell you, not all asschers are created equal and to minimize the risk of getting a dud asscher, I got a Royal Asscher-branded asscher, which is a brand cut.

One picture is the ring when I first got it, then in the sun and then a closeup I tried to take (it had gotten pretty dirty by that point).

If you love the elongated shape of the emerald cut but want more faceting, check out the Crisscut Emerald. It's a patented cut by Christopher Designs. A standard emerald cut stone has 46 facets. The Crisscut emerald has 77 facets.

My ering is a Crisscut emerald. It's pretty amazing. (very similar to the cut of Reese Witherspoon's Ashoka diamond.

Here is the link to the site.
