I have been spending the last month or so looking for an engagement ring both online and in store. Your site is far and away the best information I’ve found. I’ve decided to go with James Allen because of it.
I think I have a pretty good idea of what I’m looking for based upon your site’s suggestions, but any specific diamond recommendations you can make would be appreciated. My budget is right around 8k USD pre-setting and, like everyone else, I’m hoping to get the largest diameter round stone that looks clean to the naked eye. Right now I’m looking at round, I or J color, VS2 or SI1, Ideal cut stones. I’ll probably put it in a 14K white pave setting. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Thanks again for all the great info.
I think you should focus on a nice excellent cut with a table under 60%. I love this one for you:
It’s bright, eye-clean and a great value. What do you think?
