So I’m looking for a diamond ring (obviously) that’s no more than $4,000 with setting, ring, diamond etc. All told. If there is something absolutely amazing, I’d be willing to listen above that price. She’s not a materialistic woman and definitely would be considered more modest and not showy. But I’d still like to get a ring, maybe vintage style… Thanks for your time and your help.
What shape diamond are you looking for?
What style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones/halo) and metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) do you want to use? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
I know I like the vintage look and and looking to spend between US $2000-3500. Maybe some suggestions can get me started in the right direction.
Alright. Let’s take a look at some settings first.

Does any of them look like something you’d want for her?
I seem to like the James Allan options better. This one caught my eye:
14K WHITE GOLD EMBOSSED DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
Thank you.
Now, we’ll start searching for the best stone to go with that beautiful setting.
Here are some options that look great to me:

They are beautifully cut, eye-clean and all of them will be very brilliant. I searched in the I+/SI+ range and picked the best cut eye-clean diamonds I found there.
What do you think?
Thank you!!
You’re welcome. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.
I think this is the one.
