Q&A: Looking for 1.7 Ct. Round Cut for White Gold Solitaire Setting

I was just about to buy from Blue Nile when I saw your article.

I am looking for a 6 prong solitaire ring with 1.7 carat, round diamond. Looking at around at 10K mark.

Any suggestions would be great.

I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).

Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.

Thanks for your prompt response.

I am looking for the white gold 6 prong setting.

So to give you a bit more context I think size of the diamond will be the most important factor to her.I can definitely see her and her friends saying “Its a 1.x carat ring”. It has to be over 1.5 but I am strongly leaning towards 1.7.

I currently have this diamond on hold

How bad do you think these inclusions are?

That diamond is not eye-clean. I would go with this one instead.
