Hi there,
I will appreciate some advise and options for an engagement ring . I am following your website and have chosen a sample diamond from James Allen:

I am sure this is not ideal and hope you may provide a couple of alternatives. I am looking for a round diamond in the 0.8 to 0.9 carat range with excellent light performance (something as close to an ideal cut as possible). Color and clarity are secondary. The diamond should look as amazing as possible. My budget is up to 6,000 CAD for the stone.
The setting will be white gold solitaire ring. Most likely this: 14K WHITE GOLD THIN CROSS PRONG DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
Happy to answer any questions you may have and big thanks in advance.
The diamond you picked is a very nice option, but you can do better in terms of cut and maximum brilliance.

The cut on this one is absolutely gorgeous. It will make a beautiful ring.
What do you think?
Thanks for the quick reply. The diamond you suggested is excellent, but making full calculation makes the ring 500 CAD above my budget. I know I may sound cheap (I guess this makes me a true Canadian 🙂 ).
Could it be possible to suggest a second stone in the 5,000 CAD range (around 500 CAD cheaper)? Same requirement that basically boils down to best-looking stone for the bucks…
What do you think about this? Price is right in my budget and I like the proportions
The most recent diamond you sent me is beautiful. It’s a great find!
Thanks for the seal of approval. I placed tonight an order for a ring with this diamond!
That’s great news! I’m glad I could help you decide on a diamond.
