Q&A: Help Finding a Cushion Cut Diamond With a $16k–$20k Budget

Hello, I am looking for a cushion cut diamond for an engagement ring. My budget was originally going to be between 20-25,000 Canadian. I would like and hope to get something as close to 2 carat if possible in this price range.

Please provide me with any recommendations you may have.

Thanks.

Thank you for your response.

I did take a look at the diamond below and am wanting something with a little more wow factor. This diamond is lower than my planned budget, so we definitely have more room to work with. I was hoping to see something with a little better colour and better clarity.

Please let me know what you think. I have checked out James Alien’s website and have seen some other options in the 20-25k Canadian range. However I am not skilled at all in looking at diamonds therefore not sure which options are best.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

I totally understand what your saying and it makes sense. However with this being my first diamond purchase and it be very special to me I just want to ensure that I’m getting the perfect one.
I’m not against your choice, but would you be able to point out a couple others as well so that I can have more of a selection.

Thanks.

I like that diamond. Next question I have is, I’m trying to find a local jeweller that will custom design a setting for me. I’ve got a couple of ideas in mind from looking at other designs online.

Any suggestions on how to go about this? As well I am going to need other little diamonds to surround the centre diamond on the setting. Is it best left to the ring maker to select the little diamonds?

Thanks.
