Hi, I’m looking in BN for an engagement ring of around € 3.000. My idea is to get a diamond between 0.9 and 0.95 ct.
Here some examples:
Diamond:
Blue Nile LD10930704
Blue Nile LD11078904
Could you give me your opinion, also based on the setting I have chosen:
Setting : Nouveau Knife Edge Six Claw Solitaire Engagement Ring
I am open to every kind of suggestions! Thank you.
Blue Nile LD10930704
This diamond is poorly cut and will lose a lot of its brilliance. The table% of 62 is too high, it’s better to keep it between 55-58 for optimal brilliance.
Blue Nile LD11078904
This one is not eye-clean.
I’m happy to recommend options that would look great, but they might end up being lower than 0.9ct. What do you think?
Thank you very much for your response and your opinions.
Obviously I would like to hear your suggestions, but also I do not want to be too far from 0.9 ct, maybe I could increase my budget a little. Just give me your expert opinion!
I searched in the 0.85ct+ (J SI2+) range and this diamond happened to be the cheapest eye-clean option I found:
Blue Nile LD10883875
It’s beautifully cut and will be very bright.
Thank you for your recommendation! The diamond looks great, I think I’ll go forward with this one.
