Congratulations for this wonderful website! It really helped me to understand more about diamonds and have the courage to buy an engagement ring online.
As you recommended, I’ll buy my from James Allen because I don’t want to take any chances with the stone. I’ll be proposing my girlfriend in few days in Brazil, so can not have any problems with the ring.
I think I’m getting this setting:
And I have a budget of around $3500. I was considering a diamond size between 0.60 and 0.70.
The setting’s average diamond color is G and H. Does that mean it’s better to get one in the same range?
I found these 2 stones, can you tell me what you think?

Thank you very much
Those are both beautiful diamonds, but this diamond is just as nice and significantly cheaper:

What do you think?
Thank you so much for your help.
The stone that that you recommended looks beautiful.
Yesterday, I went to James Allen’s website and put on hold 2 more stones that I liked as well.
One of them, which is the cheapest one, seems to be very clean and it’s also a True Hearts.
Would you mind giving me one last opinion about them? I’ll probably make my decision today since I’m going to Brazil in 2 weeks.
Here are the two stones:

https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS1-Excellent-Cut-Round-Diamond-1517500.asp $2,370
That True Hearts diamond is a winner. I don’t know why I didn’t see it on my search.
Mike, I just bought that one. Thank you again for helping me.
Sounds great. Let me know how it looks when it arrives.
I just received the ring. It looks amazing! The stone is perfect and they even sent a little magnifying glass to see the details.
Thank you very much again for your help, really appreciated.
