I feel blessed to have come across your website, and have tried to educate myself a bit based on the great information you have listed. Nonetheless, I am a complete novice in this area and would appreciate a bit of guidance–and perhaps you could suggest 3-4 possibilities for me. I hope this gives you enough information about what I am seeking. If not, or if I am way off base, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
I apologize for the delay. Due to the Passover holiday, I am a bit backed up. Do you still want our help? Thanks for the patience.
Thank you for your reply. No need to apologize. Happy Passover!
Yes, I am still in need of some help/advice, so whatever you could offer would be appreciated.
I have viewed your website and read the excellent information you provided. I have been looking at some diamonds at James Allen.
I wish to purchase an enagagement ring…
Seeking a princess cut (which will be set as a solitaire)
Looking to stay around or under $3,000 for the diamond. (I’m a school teacher, so I don’t have a huge income!)
I’m looking for something around .70 -.75 carat.
I have found 9-10 on James Allen which seem to meet my basic criteria. (I have read thoroughly the great information on your website regarding cut, color, clarity, depth, table, polish/symmetry, etc.) But after narrowing down a group, it’s difficult for a novice like myself to decide or see much difference in some of the diamonds.
Just to give you an idea… here are a few from James Allen which seem to me like possible choices:
SKU # 176611, 184693, 196134, 196151, 196152, 203811, 203815, 203821, 203817.
These are from approximately $2,400 – $2,800.
Could you suggest/recommended 2 or 3 from the list above? (Or if there are others at James Allen (that fit my criteria) that you believe are a better diamond or better deal, please tell me!)
Thanks again. Your kindness and helpfulness are invaluable and very much appreciated!
This is the one I like for you:
It is a beautiful diamond (well cut, eye-clean) and the best value.
Thank you, Mike! I purchased the diamond this morning!
You guys are great. I appreciate all your help and advice.
God bless.
Sounds great. Keep me posted.
