I am looking for an engagement ring for my girlfriend. After doing a decent amount of research I found your website and it was by far the most helpful in not only understanding what each aspect of a diamond is but also how they relate to each other to complete the overall package. I would like your recommendation in picking a diamond for the ring I have chosen.
The setting is from James Allen (SKU: 17305P https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/halo/platinum-pave-halo-and-shank-diamond-engagement-ring-round-center-item-6804?a_aid=dmnd1357) It is a platinum halo setting.
My budget for the diamond is around $1400-$1500 as I am trying to keep the entire cost of the ring under $3000.
Thanks in advance, any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
I just wanted to make sure, this is for a round diamond? Some people custom make it with other shapes.
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I am looking for a round diamond.
Thanks again
You should stick with an H+ center diamond for that setting.
