Q&A: Choosing a Diamond for a Platinum Solitaire Setting for Between $6,000 and $7,500

I am looking to spend between $6,000 and $7,500 on a diamond that will be in a platinum plain solitaire setting and purchase it from James Allen.

Very much appreciate your advice!

I’d be happy to help. What shape do you want?

I am looking for a round diamond – guess I am torn between staying just under a carat vs bumping up to something in the 1.25 range. If I expand my price range up to $8,500 would that allow me to get a good quality diamond at the bigger size? If I need to sacrifice on the quality then I would be tempted to get a nicer diamond but just under a carat.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I would recommend this diamond for you:

You do not need to expand your budget at all. This one is bright, eye-clean and will look perfect in that setting.

I guess I was in the same ballpark?

I was looking at this one….https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/1.20-carat-i-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-249055?a_aid=dmnd1357

Thoughts?

That one looks good, but I don’t see the price.

It is $7,400 – i put it on a hold awaiting your thoughts.

Its a great diamond.

Ok great, I am going to go with this one. Thanks for your advice!

Sounds good. Let me know how it looks when it arrives.

The ring arrived today from James Allen and it looks great! Thanks for all of your help.
