Hi, I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend and was after some diamond recommendations. I have been looking on James Allen and am thinking about this setting –
I was after a round diamond (although, I’m open to recommendations if you think another shape would work better). My budget is between $3,000 and $3,500.
Thank-you in advance for any help you can give, I truly appreciate it.
I’m happy to help. Is your budget for the diamond only or does it include the setting? And where are you having it shipped to?
Thanks for your reply. That budget is for the diamond only, so I’m looking to spend about $5,000 all up (setting + diamond). I’ll be having it shipped to Queensland, Australia.
This would be my recommendation:
its bright, eye-clean and a great value. With the setting it should be $5,486a. Is that ok?
That diamond looks perfect! Thank-you so much! I appreciate you calculating what the total cost would be to me (and in Australian dollars too).
I’m looking at purchasing the diamond and setting today. Thanks again. I’ll let you know when the ring arrives.
Great. Please do.
