Q&A: Choosing a Center Diamond for an Art-Nouveau Pave Wedding Set With a $5500 – $6500 Budget

By Mike Fried,

Want to purchase James Allen wedding set 1715614206614 with diamond 2239489. Would like to know if this is a good match. Thank you.

The diamond you are looking at is well cut and eye-clean, but strong fluorescence on such a high color is an absolute no-go. It causes haziness: https://www.diamonds.pro/education/fluorescence/.

I’m happy to help you find a better alternative. Can you just send me the link to the set separately? When I search for it on the JA website, no results show up. Then I’ll be able to help you more.

Thank you and I am sorry. Wrong number. JA wedding set Art Nouveau Pave 1715614206w14. Round center stone, .70 – 1.25 ct., price approx. $5500-6500. Again thank you.

Thanks for the clarification.

For the type of setting like the one you’re going to use, you can easily drop in color and clarity a few grades and it’ll still look fantastic.

This would be my recommendation:

They are beautifully cut, eye-clean and either of them will be incredibly brilliant.

What do you think?

I ordered the second choice diamond with the same setting. First choice was sold. But thank you beyond belief for all your help. I will let you know when it arrives. Again thank you. I used this same email to keep it easy to track.

That’s great news! Thank you for letting me know.

I hope you’ll love it when you receive it. If you could let me know how it looks when it arrives, I’d appreciate it.

Thank you for all your help. She loves the setting and diamond. I could not have done it without you. And James Allen was great. Again a million thanks to you.

That’s fantastic, I’m glad you are this happy with the ring! You’re welcome, it’s been a pleasure helping you.

If it’s not too much to ask, do you think you can do us a quick favor and write us a small review on www.ivouch.com? If you could, we would be extremely grateful.
