hi, I am looking to buy an engagement ring from James Allen having looked at all online options.I’m based in Ireland so buying in store not an option with prices here! I have decided on a setting but am unsure what diamond to go for.Budget remaining for diamond alone is $2000,the one I am looking at is Item 1346304 to go with the setting I’ve chosen Setting 17123w.Important to me is sparkle & nice size.Would have liked 1.00 carat but budget won’t stretch so best I can get for 2k or slightly above.Seem to be going around in circles trying to decide!!Thanks!!
Thanks for writing! I think this might actually be a slightly nicer choice:

let me know what you think!
This looks great-thanks a lot. Well done on your site-it’s truly an invaluable resource for anyone in the market with little knowledge.
Do you recommend James Allen? It’s such a big purchase to make online-especially outside Europe, but the fact is there is no comparison to the diamonds available in shops here for the same budget and the quality that appears to be on James Allen-even taking into account shipping and VAT.
Kind Regards
100% I recommend them. They’re the best vendor online, period.
Excellent-I’ve placed the order!
Thanks again-never knew there was so much to diamonds..just look gorgeous to me!
Congrats!
