Hi, I’m looking to upgrade my 0.52 carat center stone of my engagement ring to a 1.0 carat. I want to make sure the diamond is not yellow and looks decent without spending too much money. Any good places to purchase? It’s a brilliant cut round diamond.
Can you tell me what style of setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other) and metal (platinum/white or yellow gold) your engagement ring is? If possible, I’d like to see a picture of the ring. Different settings suit certain colors better (https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/).
Hi there, here’s a picture of my ring!
Thank you for sending the picture.
Have a look at this diamond:
Blue Nile LD08031256
It’s very well cut and it’s going to look colorless in the style of setting you have. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/
What do you think?
I really like that diamond, it’s a little over my budget but do they offer payment plans?
I’m happy that you like my suggestion so much. Yes, Blue Nile offers payment plan. I suggest contacting them directly. They’ll be able to give more detailed information and all the possibilities they offer.
