Hi, I’m looking for an engagement ring. I’ve done a little bit of research, and I would like to buy a diamond with these characteristics: Round 0.70 ct. diamond Color: I Clarity: VVS1 Cut: Very Good My budget for the diamond is set under the $2,000. For now, I think my best option would be …
My budget is about 10,000 and my thinking is that should get the best ideal cut within my budget. Thoughts on this approach? I think my girlfriend prefers a cushion cut but I also know she would be really happy with a great looking diamond. I was searching Blue Nile and didn’t find any cushion …
My budget is between 5-6.5k and I would like as near a flawless diamond as possible to the naked eye and around 1 carat (for the center stone –> I am looking for a 3-stone setting). Imperfections that are only visible under a microscope don’t bother me. I had read that cut is the most …
Hi, Could you tell me whether you think either of these diamonds would be eye clean, and if they are good stones in general? Which would you choose?

We have had great experiences with Blue Nile, but choosing the company we recommend always depends on our readers’ specific needs. …
Hi, I’m looking for diamond stud earrings at Blue Nile, James Allen etc. Something in the 1.5ct size and hoping to be in the $3,500-5,000 range, focusing a bit more on cut than clarity/color. It seems that when I’m looking at loose diamonds on James Allen there appear to be a lot of inclusions that …
Hi, I’m looking for a diamond ring for around $5,000 including the setting. Round or princess stone. Would you give me some recommendations? Thank you. I’d be happy to make some recommendations for you, but I need a little more info. What style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones/halo) and metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) do you want …
Hi, I was so glad I read your article prior to making my purchase. I was one that was looking in the VVS range afraid of eye-visible inclusions. What worries me now (possibly unnecessarily) is the difference in color. I’ve been looking on James Allen for a few weeks now sifting through many of the …
