Hi,
I’m looking for an engagement ring and I would like to buy it from James Allen. I would like a solitaire diamond ring and my budget is around $8000.
Could you advise?
I’d be happy to send you some diamonds to look at. Can you just tell me what shape diamond you are looking for?
Thank you for your reply.
I’m looking for a round shape diamond please.
Great, thanks for the additional info.
I searched JA and I love this combination for you:

This diamond is beautifully cut and will be very brilliant.
What do you think?
Thank you for your response, the diamond looks lovely.
I do see some imperfections in the diamond, I know JA has super zoom but do you think it would be visible to the naked eye?
Thank you.
The imperfections are insignificant and will not be noticeable in the structure.
Sorry for the late response.
My budget has been increased by $1000. Do you think I can get a larger or a better stone for 9k?
Can you advise?
I found this one but when you look at the real measurements, you can see that the difference between this one and the 1.43 ct I sent you before is negligible:

Can you tell me where you are located? If you live in Europe, you’d be better off going with Blue Nile. They are based in Europe, they have an office in Ireland, so you won’t pay any import fees, just the regular VAT (21%).
Thanks for your advice!
The reason I’m going with JA is that I’m traveling to the US 🙂
Well, if there is not much difference then it would be a waste to spend more money I guess.
I will make a decision soon and will let you know so you can secure your commission.
Thanks!
All right. Let me know how it goes!
Just a quick note to let you know. I purchased the diamond and the ring from JA and picked it up already! Please note that I could not use my personal email address and had to use this one instead to order the diamond.
The diamond is beautiful and well received!
Thank you again!
That’s great news! I’m glad you like the ring!
I’d love to see the finished product. If you can send me a picture of it, I’d appreciate it.
Find attached! Thanks again!
Beautiful piece. Thanks for sending it over!
