Please review the attached diamond. This would be going with a rose gold halo pave setting. My main concern is if the colour would look slightly yellow given then setting.
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.80-carat-h-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-10027653?a_aid=dmnd1357 – This diamond is nicely cut, I don’t see any red flags. H colored diamonds look colorless in any setting. But if you want, you can theoretically save some money if you would go with a diamond with a lower clarity grade.
I have a couple others to look at if you don’t mind:

As mentioned, the setting I intend to purchase is:
14K Rose Gold Pave Halo And Shank Diamond Engagement Ring (Round Center)
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.80-carat-d-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-10359416?a_aid=dmnd1357– This diamond is not eye-clean.
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.80-carat-e-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-9936484?a_aid=dmnd1357 – Same here. Try to avoid black and big/thick inclusions on the table.
Here are some alternatives:

Would you recommend that last link over the original one?
It’S up to you which one you like and if you prefer a higher clarity grade or carat weight. All are nice options with fantastic specs. But the size difference isn’t significant.
Sounds good. Appreciate all the help. I’ll likely be going with one of these.
Sounds perfect. Please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime whenever you feel I might be helpful. I’m always ready to help.
Thank you!
