Hello, I’m interested in an emerald-cut diamond in the neighborhood of 1.5 carat.Obviously, this kind of stone “Makes a statement”so the quality has to be acceptable.
I know it won’t be cheap, but I am afraid I’ll pay too much. Any advice?
Thanks.
Can you tell me what style of setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other) and metal (platinum/white or yellow gold) you’re going to use? One last question, what’s your approximate budget?
Thank you for your help.
No setting, my finance wishes to build her ring using a local goldsmith and include an number of smaller stones that she has acquired or inherited (we are middle aged). The stone I am looking for would be the centerpiece of this as-yet-not-designed ring.
Actually, I’d probably ask for an inexpensive, temporary setting so I can slip something on her finger, but I assume that’s no big deal.
My question is: “What kind of rectangular diamond should I expect for $5000 and who should I buy it from?”
Thank you for the information.
I recommend going for an I color diamond if you want to place it into a setting with side stones. If you plan to use a halo setting, we would have to search for an H color stone. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/
Have a look at this stone:
It’s very well cut and eye-clean.
If you want, have a look at their collection of settings. You can choose a simple solitaire style in 14k gold.
What do you think?
I like it! I’ll look at it tonight, but I think I’ll pick a simple setting and go for it.
If I do, the key for The Pros is that my James Allen account have this email, correct?
Thanks.
