Q&A: Choosing a 1 Ct. Round Diamond for a Rose Gold or White Gold Halo Setting with Around $4,000 Budget

Hello,

Can you help me review this diamond I found: Blue Nile LD15358302

I have placed it on hold but I don’t know if it is a good deal. I’m looking for a round diamond for about 1 carat and have a budget of around $4k. Can you help me check if it is eye clean? Is there anything I should worry about this particular diamond?

Blue Nile LD15358302 – This diamond is nicely cut, I don’t see any red flags. The inclusions might be partly covered with prongs – I would suggest contacting BN if they can cover the feather at the 7 o’clock position. Worst case scenario, if you end up not liking it, you can easily return it. But I think it’s a nice diamond! What setting style and metal are you planning to go with?
Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you very much.

I am considering these two settings:
Monique Lhuillier Opulence Twisting Halo Diamond Engagement Ring in 18k Rose Gold

Sapphire and Diamond Halo Twist Engagement Ring in 14k White Gold

Do you think the diamond I picked would work well with these two settings?

Can you also recommend another diamond from Blue Nile?

For those settings, H color is perfect. That diamond would be nice in either of those settings.

I found this option:
Blue Nile LD15387407

I really like it. Thank you!

You’re welcome.
