Hi guys.
Have been reading lots on your website, and with guidance from my girlfriend on what preferences she has. Hoping you can help, based on below preferences:
– Yellow gold band (18k)
– Solitaire
– 6 prong
– Round
My budget is ~$12k.
Based on the fact she wants a yellow gold band, I came to the conclusion to get a colour of K/J.
Something along the lines of: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.90-carat-j-color-vs1-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-7354196?a_aid=dmnd1357
Would be great to hear your thoughts – thanks
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.90-carat-j-color-vs1-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-7354196?a_aid=dmnd1357 – This diamond is nice, I don’t see any red flags. I couldn’t find any better diamond in this size at this moment. Perfect choice!
Just out of interest – I played around with the preferences a little and found below which has a better cut, but color grading is K, not J:

How does this compare with my previous J selection?
Additionally – I presume there are no red flags for the setting itself?
18K Yellow Gold 1.5mm Comfort Fit Engagement Ring
As for the setting, it’s a matter of personal taste and preference. It’s completely up to you what you like.
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.90-carat-k-color-vvs2-clarity-true-hearts-cut-sku-5883343?a_aid=dmnd1357 – This diamond is perfectly cut, great option. But I would personally prefer the colored diamond as the setting you like has white gold prongs. If it had yellow gold prongs, K color would be completely fine.
I’ll buy the J diamond then.
Thanks so much for the help.
You’re very welcome. Take care.
