Hi, I just found your website. I was pretty set on a diamond from Blue Nile until I came here and read more about diamonds and other online retailers. Basically I’m looking for the best bang for my buck. Would you be able to give me a few suggestions? I would like to keep it to $2500 including the setting (needs to be white gold). Thanks a lot!!
I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What shape diamond and what type of setting are you considering? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.
Thanks in advance for the help. As for the ring, I’m looking for a princess cut diamond solitaire in white gold setting. Thanks again!
I love this diamond for you:
Its bright, eye-clean and a fantastic value.
If you want to stretch your budget a bit, this is another choice:
Personally, I’d go with the 0.77ct.
What do you think?
I pulled the trigger on the 0.77 carat today! It looks beautiful. I can’t wait to see it in person. Thanks again for your help!
Sounds great. Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.
