Q&A: Looking for a Pear Shaped Diamond for $4000-5000

By Mike Fried,

I am looking at this engagement ring ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-CT-PEAR-SHAPE-SPLIT-SHANK-HALO-DIAMOND-ENGAGEMENT-RING-/180975447985#vi-content ) and was wondering what your opinions were for the price. My absolute max price would be around $6,000 for a ring but would like to spend more around $4000-5000. Do you think this is a good one for what I would be getting? She really likes pear shapes and likes this one ( http://www.jared.com/product1%7C10451%7C10001%7C-1%7C99064500699%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C) but something about it turns me off. Which one would you suggest?

Sorry for the links but thats the only way I knew how to do it.

Ebay is the home to the slime of the diamond industry. YOu will not find a diamond with legitimate certification there.

If you watch Ira’s video there, he does a great job explaining how these certificates are used to rip people off.

 Thank you for that. Can you help me find anything similar to that one?

I would recommend something like these:

https://www.bluenile.com/diamond-details/LD11643960.

(The Blue Nile diamond is an alternative to the one we recommended before from a company that no longer exists.)

What do you think?

I like those. The james allen one almost does the bow tie (right?) I am new and still learning. I was wondering about if I purchased the diamond by itself whats the process to getting it set in something to make it look like this one?

Also whats your opinion on that one and the price?

Thanks

The bowtie is very minimal and will not be noticeable at all.

I have added a rep from JA to this email. She can let you know how much a setting like that will cost.
