Hi, I’m looking to ask the big question and I was wondering if you can help me choose a princess cut diamond. My budget it $7-7,500 (maybe $8,000). As far as the ring, I’m looking to place it on a white gold, channel set band. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
I’d be happy to help you out. Is your budget for the diamond only or including the setting?
My budget does include the setting, so that’ll put me at a diamond budget of $6-6,500. Some examples of the settings I’ve been looking at are below.

I really love the first one. Its a great size, well cut and eye-clean. It will look great in that setting. What do you think?
Thanks for looking. I really love the first one as well. After looking at more settings, I’ve found a ring I really like: https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/pave/18k-white-gold-pave-encrusted-engagement-ring-item-8127?a_aid=dmnd1357. The site says the ring can be set to 1.25 carats, so I’m hoping James Allen can make it happen with the diamond.

What do you think of the setting from the link I just sent you for the first diamond you chose?
I like the setting and it will go great with that diamond.
Just wanted to say thanks for all your help and advice. Without it, I could have not selected a better choice myself. I purchased one of the diamonds you had selected (the first link, your first choice), it was a big hit with my now fiancé! Thank you.
