Hi, I am looking for a round brilliant diamond for a solitaire setting. The budget is around £2000 for the diamond.
What do you think of this combination?
Blue Nile LD08743473
Blue Nile Classic Four Claw Solitaire Engagement Ring
The diamond looks eye-clean, it’s well cut and will compliment the setting.
Thank you, very thoughtful.
I would prefer a higher colour diamond, at least H colour maybe at a stretch I. I don’t like how it looks from the side otherwise.
Apologies.
We usually recommend a J color for solitaires as there are no additional diamonds in the setting that would make the color difference. https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/
However, here is one with higher color:

Sorry to keep being a bother!
I know that what it important is whether a diamond is eye clean or not but I would prefer one with a better clarity level than that one. Could probably compromise a bit on size for that.. Aside from the inclusions the one you’ve just sent was perfect.
……
I keep bombarding you but some thoughts here as well. I’d love your opinion and expertise.
I’ve been looking at these diamonds:
Blue Nile LD07100373
Blue Nile LD08109424
Blue Nile LD08583253
But I’ve also been wondering if an oval diamond might be the way to go.
The shape depends on your taste only. If you like the ovals, we can take a look at them as well.
From the diamonds you sent over, I like the first and the third one.The first option is beautiful if you don’t mind spending the extra money. And the third one looks absolutely perfect.
I ruled out #2 as it has a cloud listed as the first inclusion and that usually means that the diamond is cloudy (on SI diamonds).
