Hello, I’m in the process of picking out a diamond and setting on Bluenile. I’m looking at Marquise cuts as that shape is my soon to be fiance’s favorite. I’ve discovered bling and sparkle is what catches her eye most. I immediately see inclusions from 10 feet away! I’m going with this Halo setting in …
I am looking at buying a replacement diamond for my wife’s ring, the original fell out of the setting and was lost. I would like to get a princess cut diamond between 1-1.5 carats but really don’t want to sacrifice on the quality for the money that I will be spending (my wife doesn’t want …
Hello, I’m looking to get a round platinum halo engagement ring. My research found that the diamond should be ideal cut, H+, and eye clean. I know there is savings to be made by shopping online. I’m exclusively using James Allen because of the high magnification video tool. I have been looking at triple excellent …
Hi, love the site! I’m looking for a diamond for an engagement ring on a budget of $6-7K and driving myself mad looking through all of the options on JA. It would be set on a platinum solitaire, flat edged, four pronged. I was recommended this: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.00-carat-i-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2096510?a_aid=dmnd1357 It’s SI1 and the inclusion is pretty obvious …
I’m awhile out from buying an engagement ring, but I am trying to get as educated as possible. I’ve been doing my research for awhile so I’m really well-versed in diamond information. I would really prefer a solitaire that is around 3 carats (but more is greatly appreciated). Cushion is what I like the best… …

I am trying to identify the best Asscher cut diamond for the following setting: www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-octagon-halo-diamond-engagement-ring-item-50004?a_aid=dmnd1357 I think I’ve essentially narrowed it down to 2 choices: 1. www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-octagon-halo-diamond-engagement-ring-item-50004?a_aid=dmnd1357 2. www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/asscher-cut/0.73-carat-e-color-vs1-clarity-sku-2201539?a_aid=dmnd1357 Of the above, which do you feel would be the better …
Hi, I’m currently trying to pick a ring on James Allen’s site and have a budget of around £3000 sterling. I’ve left it a little late and could do with it being shipped to the UK within 3 weeks as we go away for my partner’s birthday after. I have narrowed it down to a …
Dear Diamonds Pro, My budget is anywhere from $13,000-$18,000. I like the JA Platinum Cushion Outline Pave Engagement Ring: www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-cushion-outline-pave-engagement-ring-item-49998?a_aid=dmnd1357 And a diamond: www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/1.50-carat-d-color-vvs1-clarity-sku-2602402?a_aid=dmnd1357 I found a great looking diamond at Blue Nile: Blue Nile LD08336385 I’m not sure if going with the Blue Nile diamond is necessary given the setting that I’m looking for. …
