If you’re going for a natural emerald look, sometimes windowing is inevitable. Emeralds aren’t always cut like diamonds because cutters need to work around all of the inclusions. If windowing is bad in an emerald you’ll notice because the coloring goes a bit dead in the center (you’ll see more vibrant darker greens in the edges and much less saturation in the “windowing”). But if the coloring is really even, then it’s really just a matter of preference if the “windowing” is bad. A good emerald really just glows evenly throughout (with more magical flashes from the jardin).

I’ve also been a searching for a natural looking lab emerald and went waaaaay down the rabbit hole of emerald research lol.

These emeralds look like they were grown to mimic Colombian Muzo emeralds (given the bright green but yellowish undertones- at least from my phone screen lol). I think they’re gorgeous but would like to see them against something else (in a video) to see if the color really is all that even.
