Thank you in advance for your help – your site has already proven to be very educational. My goal is to find/create a ring that is a close match to the one in the attached file.
Once I decide on the diamond, I assume the vendor will be able to copy the setting. Budget = around $5,000 (setting & diamond). Desired specs: 1 carat, oval, Excellent Cut, H or better, SI2 or better.
I appreciate you time.
I think you’d need to stretch your budget to get a 1ct with a setting like that.

I would go with a 0.90ct. www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/oval-cut/0.90-carat-h-color-vvs2-clarity-sku-278349?a_aid=dmnd1357
Thanks for the reply. The $5K can be stretched. What do you think of this diamond as compared to the one you recommended.
Also, will that setting work with an Oval diamond? The description states it can only be set with a round brilliant.
Both diamonds are nice. I can’t see the price of that one (its on hold).
You should ask JA about the setting. I’m guessing its not a problem.
Thank you for your help, I finalized my order with James Allen today.
Sounds great. Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.
