Hi there, thank you so much for all of the great and informative articles and reviews on your site. I found it when researching reviews for Blue Nile, and your comparison article on Blue Nile / James Allen was eye-opening!
Anyways, I’m looking for a diamond that will give me the best bang for my buck. I’m thinking solitaire setting, platinum, probably this setting: https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/platinum-tapered-six-prong-filigree-basket-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-551?a_aid=dmnd1357
Diamond budget is in the $4k range. Thanks very much!
I’d be happy to help. What shape do you want?
Whoops, forgot about telling you the shape – I’m thinking the standard round brilliant.
I would recommend this diamond for you:
Its bright, eye-clean and superbly cut. What do you think?
It looks very nice, I like how clean it looks. I guess my only question/concern would be the J color – if I go with a white gold or platinum band, will it make the hint of yellow more noticeable?
That is our regular choice: https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/
Perfect, thanks!
