Hello, I hope this finds you doing well. There was a discussion around March 2016 re: a diamond solitaire engagement ring. I think the band & setting look perfect & am wondering if you could check on what band they went with?
Thanks so much!
It’s hard to guess which one they went with from just looking at the picture. It might be one of these:

I hope this helps.
Hi, thanks so much for your response & suggestion. We went with the 2 mm comfort fit. Am excited to see how it turns out!
You’re welcome.
If you can let me know how it looks when it arrives, I’d appreciate it.
Will do! Thanks.
……
I just realized something with our order from James Allen. The diamond itself was certified by IGI, which I didn’t notice for some reason. I thought we’d taken our time with the order and now am really nervous. My fiance spoke with JA today & it sounds like they are still waiting for the diamond itself to come in, so I think we have time to amend our order.
Looking at the gems in the link below, do you have any thoughts? I’d appreciate an experts, not employed by the seller, take on our criteria. Essentially, 1.4-1.5 carat, round solitaire. Color I or above, clarity no less than VS2, and excellent cut. Thoughts? Your time is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks so much!
That was close! I’m glad you’d noticed that before they’ve started to set the ring. It’s much better to get a GIA certified diamond.
This one looks great:

It’s superbly cut, eye-clean and will be very brilliant.
What do you think?
Thanks so much. I will call them today… Are there any under $8k you see that is close to the one you found? Yours is absolutely beautiful! I was hoping to keep the diamond itself under 8k if possible?
Either of them will be just as beautiful.
Let me know how you feel about them.
Thank you for all your help! Do you think there will be an appreciable difference in size? Was hoping to get close to 1.5 if possible but perhaps that isn’t realistic with hopes for quality!
You’re welcome. The difference will be negligible (you’d have to put the diamonds, unmounted, side by side close to each other to spot the difference).
