Q&A: Choosing a Round Diamond for a Yellow Gold Solitaire Setting

I have a question regarding a couple diamonds from James Allen. First off, is this diamond eye clean?

Thanks so much!

No, it’s not eye-clean. The feather is right in the middle of the table and will be visible. But more importantly, I wouldn’t recommend that diamond because it’s IGI certified. It’s not a consistent lab. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/igi/

Feel free to send me other options you have.

Also, what style setting (solitaire, pave/side stone, halo) and metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) are you putting it in?

14k yellow gold solitaire ring. Thanks so much for your help – I can’t express how much I appreciate it. I’m mainly looking at diamonds from James Allen – it seems as if they have a good, quality selection but also great technology to see what you are getting. Hopefully, it is ok if I send you a few more to review.

Thanks!

That’s a gorgeous diamond! It’s eye-clean, beautifully cut and will have a lot of brilliance. I have to say it’s a perfect pick!

You’re the best! Thank you so much!
