Hello,
I am in search for an engagement ring for my hopefully soon to be wife and I need assistance for finding a wonderful diamond which meets my expectations and has a good price to value offer.
She likes this yellow gold halo ring.
18K Yellow Gold Classic Engagement Ring By Verragio
Princess, cushion or emerald cut diamond.
Budget is about $20,000.
Can you help me find a really good diamond?
The shape is a matter of personal preference. If you think she’d like one of the three diamond shapes you mentioned in your email, let’s stick with them.
I’d recommend an H+ color to make sure there wouldn’t be any yellowness.
I found the following beautiful options:

www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut/1.60-carat-h-color-vs1-clarity-sku-8332156?a_aid=dmnd1357
They have a fantastic cut and all of them would make an amazing ring.
Thanks for your recommendations.
I changed my preferences and would like to have this ring:
18K Yellow Gold Cushion Outline And Pavé Gallery Engagement Ring
Can you advise me on a 2 to 2.x carat cushion cut diamond?
The diamond should be between $20k and $32k.
I found these two perfect diamonds. They have a gorgeous cut and either of them would be incredibly brilliant in real life:

I think I will go for the 2nd one.
Anything else I need to consider before buying?
I think you’re all set. The 2.5ct diamond is an excellent choice and will make an absolutely impressive ring.
Thank you for all the help!
My pleasure.
