Hi Diamond Pro team. I would like your help on buying this ring for my future wife.
I’ve been doing my research, all related to diamonds in your website and also other resources. I understood all of the specifications a diamond could have, but what I really don’t have is your expertise on telling what diamond is clean to the naked eye in the different variations. Also, I don’t want to over spend on features that do not make sense.
If you want me to make some specific recommendations, can you please tell me what setting style (solitaire/pave/side stones/halo) and metal (white gold/rose gold/yellow gold/platinum) you’re planning to go with? Different colors suit different setting styles better (https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/). What shape of diamond (round, princess cut, cushion, emerald, oval, radiant, asscher, marquise, heart or pear) do you like the most? Do you have a ballpark budget for the center stone in mind? This info will help me set the right search parameters. Then I’ll gladly send you some suggestions and tell you some info on what to look for.
Setting style: Solitaire
Metal: White Gold
Diamond Shape: Round
Ballpark budget for the center stone: around 2,000 and 2,400. I would like to spend no more than 3,000 for this ring (center stone and setting).
Thank you for the additional info. Here are some beautiful rings I found for you:

Thank you so much, I just bought the first james Allen option you shared with me with a different setting.
…
I just have a concern regarding the color of the diamond. Not sure if “I color” would look too yellow. What do you think?
I choose this setting 18K White Gold 2mm Comfort Fit Solitaire Engagement Ring (Six Prong)
I color is perfectly fine for solitaire settings, we usually recommend even J colored diamonds with no problems at all. Worst case scenario if you end up not liking it, you can easily return it. But I think you won’t be able to notice any yellowish tint.
Great, thanks!
You’re very welcome.
