Thanks for writing. Does the 2000 budget need to include the setting as well, or is that just for the diamond?

Hi there
around 2000 can be just the diamond

I will want the diamond in this setting on a 4.5 size

and what do you think of this diamond
https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1356061.asp
would this diamond be extra shiney because of the
depth 61.90% and table 54.9%?

i saw some true hearts version diamonds and are they better then the ideal versions?
I really want it to shine
Thanks for taking your time to write back!

Those are very nice choices! I think this diamond might be a slightly better deal, though:

Keep in mind that an eye clean SI will look identical to a flawless stone (all else being equal, of course). So you might as well save a few hundred dollars! Both this one and the one you chose will sparkly like crazy!

Thanks Ira !
You’ve been a great help to helping me decide which diamond. Your site helped alot in educating me as well.
I went ahead and purchased the diamond you suggested.
Thanks a million !!!
