it just looks dull and lifeless. and I stand by the fact that the cut is wonky, there's even some windowing. compared to other emerald cuts like Beyonce's it's dull.

Eye of he beholder and all that...Beyonce's ring is flat on top. Mariah's ring is a much better cut stone. Some pictures show windows but there are many pics that show no windows. Most really big stones will show a window in photos at some angle. Very hard to photograph. (I have a 5 carat EC and its very hard to take a pic of it. It is absolutely ideally cut yet at certain angles and in certain light it happens) Beyonce's ring will basically be white flashes of light and Mariah's will have more prismatic brilliance due to the crown. Most stones dont have that crown as it is VERY costly material.
it's hard to photograph for sure, but even in the video I've seen there wasn't any of the bright flashes that emerald cuts usually have. it lacks dynamic and contrast and just looks gray

Mariah's ring
and most of the time the crown is that high because the rough stone was shaped that way and they didn't want to loose any weight in the cutting process. A high crown doesn't hurt, but in this case it really doesn't do anything for the stone.
Ciara's stone would have made a stunning solitaire. It did t need anything extra.

Me too!! They are all starting to look the same.
I know they are real but they still look so fake and OTT to me.
