Q&A: Choosing a Princess Cut Diamond for a White Gold Solitaire Setting with a $3,000 to $3,500 Budget

 First let me start by saying thank you for putting together such an informative website. I wish your website was around 10 years ago when I first went shopping for a diamond ring.

I have read your article on Princess Cut Diamonds – Princess Cut Engagement Rings and I am finding it difficult to select a “clean to the eye” diamond. I am hoping you can provide your advise and expertise on selecting a princess cut diamond for an engagement ring. My budget is around $3,000 to $3,500 for the diamond. The setting I have selected is – https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/platinum-2.5mm-knife-edge-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-7207?a_aid=dmnd1357 in platinum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. 

 Thank you very much for your recommendations. The three diamonds you selected are great; however, what are your next three choices for lower priced diamonds?

Thanks in advance. 

 If you don’t mind, I would like to see what your next three selections would be, even if it means dropping down in to the 0.80ct range. 

 Thank you very much for your recommendations. I have gone ahead and purchased this loose diamond – www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.86-carat-h-color-vs1-clarity-sku-254455?a_aid=dmnd1357 .
