Hey there,
I read your article and I am very interested in seeking some guidance on an engagement ring from Blue Nile. Looking to keep it under $1500, and open about the shape, size of the diamond as well as the setting.
I’m happy to share some suggestions with you, but I would need to know what shape and style setting you are considering. As this is something entirely personal, I think you should be the one to pick out something your future fiancee will love.
I looked into a few settings and I liked the solitare and the one that has many little diamonds on the sides and the big on in the middle. (sorry not sure what it’s called). As for the shape of the diamond round or princess cut would be good.
That does help. Thanks!
For a simple solitaire, I’d recommend a J-color round diamond. For a pave (smaller diamonds in the band), you have to go one grade up to make sure there won’t be any color difference.
You can go with an I-color princess cut for either setting.
These options are very well cut and all of them will be bright and brilliant.
What do you think?
I really like the princess cut one you sent and the 0.45ct round one. I think either one will be perfect. Thank you so much!
Happy to hear that!
