I’m looking for a ~1ct (+/-.1) round diamond for a solitaire setting in 14k white gold. I certainly appreciate all the information on your site and it has been most helpful in my selection process.
For the stone my budget is ~$3k-4k and I want it to be eye clean, and as sparkly and colorless as possible.
I found this one, what do you think?
I apologize for the delay. Due to the holiday, I am a bit backed up and should be up to speed in the next couple of days. Do you still want our help? Thanks for the patience.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
It looks like the one I’d linked to before ($3250) is no longer available, but my requirements/priorities are still the same. Budget wise I would really prefer to keep everything (including the $400 setting) under $4k.
If you wouldn’t mind making some recommendations sometime this week, I’d certainly appreciate the help!
I see it as available now and it looks like a winner to me.
You were right, that one was still available, but alas I failed to pull the trigger in time. I’m looking at this stone now. I believe this is an SI2 compared to the other which was SI1 would you mind taking a look and letting me know if you think this is still going to be eye clean?
This one is nice as well.
