I’m trying to replace my lost diamond ring. I want a .75 to 1 ct, marquise shape. I found a .8 on James Allen for about $3250 (including setting) is that a good price? I feel like it was too easy to find.
Do you have any ideas for me? What am I missing?
Can you send me both links, so I can check the diamond specs out and see what type of a setting you’re putting it in?
Can you see this?

Here is the copied info from James Allen:
SKU: 1069009 0.80 Carat D VS1 Marquise
SKU: 17740Y14 14K Yellow Gold 1.5mm Comfort Fit Engagement Ring
The diamond I am trying to replace is 1 ct. Marquise Shape diamond, .75 carats, E Color SI-1 Clarity. I do not want to spend more than $4000.
I need to be able to attach the “solitaire enhancer” – I have already purchased:
www.zales.com/marquise-baguette-diamond-solitaire-enhancer-10k-gold/product.jsp?productId=29877296productId=29877176
So, I wonder if buying the stone without setting would be a better idea.
Thank you so much for helping me.
I used the SKU numbers and found the diamond and the setting on their website. Thank you.
The only thing I don’t like on the diamond is the medium fluorescence. It’s usually an issue on G+ diamonds that makes them look hazy. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/fluorescence/
What do you think of this one?

As for the setting, it seems like it should work, but it’s hard to say when you don’t know the exact parameters.
There are two options here:
1) If they are willing to, you can send the enhancer to JA and they can make sure that the setting fits next to it.
2) Purchase only a diamond and buy the setting somewhere else with the enhancer in hands.
I hope you are well. I am looking for a diamond again. The one you found me a long time ago is, of course, sold. Can you lend a hand? I only need the stone. 0.75 to 1 ct, marquise shape.
Thanks so much!
