Q&A: Looking for a 2 Ct. Round Diamond for a Pave Setting Platinum Ring within $20K Total Budget

 I just came across your website today. I’m looking for an engagement ring and am curious how your service works? I’m mostly looking at James Allen per your reviews. My guess would be that you get paid a commission from the seller that you recommend? If this is the case I’d like to work with you as I’m finding your site very helpful and will most likely utilize James Allen because of it. I’m looking to purchase in the next 2-3 months. Please let me know how we can proceed.

…

Some more supporting data that may help us get started. Budget: $20k Cut: Round Band: Platinum

 Budget: $20K – Ring & Diamond
Ring: Preferably Platinum
Diamond: Round Brilliant
Clarity, Color, etc: Hoping you can help with.

Attached are a couple of pictures that I took from her Pinterest page for the type of style she likes.

Thanks!

 Thanks for the list, I’m still probably a month or two from purchasing but this gives me a great idea of what to look for. I’ll probably e-mail you some possibilities as the time draws closer for your feedback if thats ok? 

 What do you think of these rings? Will they be eye-clean? Or if you find something else please feel free to send my way.
Budget $20K – Round – At least 2 Carats

 Thanks for the feedback! Do you think J color is a good buy to get the extra size or am i better off trying to find an eye clean H or I that is closer to 2 carats? Finally ready to pull the trigger and I’m looking at the attached setting. I apologize I sent this over through the website form as well but wanted to consolidate messages.

I haven’t decided on white gold or platinum yet the price difference is not significant. 

 Thanks!
Best choices from these?

Thank you

 Really appreciate your help through all of this! So both the 2.17 & 2.05 are eyeclean? 

 Raised the budget a bit and I found another that might be a better option. What do you think?
