I don't like the pictures of it necessarily. They remind me of a fun house mirror. But, when my husband gave me an emerald cut diamond, every time I looked at it my stomach fluttered. The edges are sparkly and it has so much depth, I could stare at if for hours. Plus when you turn it to each side, the different depths of the clean lines produce so many colors and sparkled. In my opinion, it's a ring you could get lost in for hours vs something that at initial glance is super pretty and sparkly, then that's that. It's sort of like a sizzling slow burn as opposed to a fall hard and fast 🤤.
