Can I get some advice on purchasing a center diamond for this ring?
My budget is roughly $4500 (including the ring itself) so I know I don’t have a whole lot to work with. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I love this diamond for you:
It’s bright, eye-clean and a great value. What do you think? Here is another option as well:
The first diamond looks great! Extremely eye clean. However, do you think have an H color will make the diamond appear yellow compared to the rest of the setting? All the side stones and band stones are F-G in color.
The second one looks great as well but it doesn’t appear to be eye clean. Maybe it was just me but it seemed to have some inclusions near one of the sides. Let me know if I am looking at that correctly.
An H color is absolutely fine in that style setting. We have never had a reader complain about the color on an H with a pave setting.
