Hello,
I am looking for an oval cut diamond, 2+ carats and want to spend $22-$28k for the stone. I am looking at James Allen and want an eye clean oval that I can place in a rose gold French pave setting. Any pointing me in the right direction of a great stone that looks flawless and maximizes money would be much appreciated!
…
This specific stone I am looking at purchasing. It appears eye clean. Is there any advice you can offer?
…
Here are three more options I’ve found.

Out of the diamonds you sent me, this one is the absolute best: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/2.15-carat-d-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-7745107?a_aid=dmnd1357. It has a great oval shape and minimal bow-tie. It would make an amazing ring. Did you purchase it or put it on hold?
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I did put the diamond on hold and this one was my favorite from the beginning. My only other thought was that after reading your site and doing some research, that I could find a larger carat stone for the same price that would look no different to the eye.
I’m glad we were on the same page regarding that diamond.
I found another, equally beautiful option if you want to take a look:

The last diamond I liked isn’t available anymore, of the three below (including the one you suggested) which one do you think would look the best in a rose gold pave setting?

I like my suggestion the most. It’s perfect in every way.
The other diamonds have black windowing and bow-tie that wouldn’t look good in person.
I’ll go ahead with that one.
Thank you so much!
My pleasure.
