Hi there, hope you guys are well.
My fiancee and I have been looking at purchasing a three-stone ring from James Allen. The two diamonds we are currently considering are:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.90-carat-k-color-vs2-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2338731?a_aid=dmnd1357
This is the setting she really likes:
www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/three-stone/18k-yellow-gold-marquise-shape-three-stone-ring-item-59191?a_aid=dmnd1357
It would be great to get your thoughts on the two diamonds and any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
The setting you picked is beautiful. The diamonds you selected are well cut, but the K-VS2 is not eye-clean. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend either of them as the color K is too low for a setting with additional diamonds. The difference in color might be way too noticeable.
This would be my recommendation:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.80-carat-i-color-vs1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-2338923?a_aid=dmnd1357
It’s superbly cut, eye-clean and will be incredibly brilliant. What do you think?
Thanks so much for your advice; it’s really helpful. I’ll certainly ensure that you get credit when we purchase.
The recommended diamond is stunning, and we’re very much considering it. I’m just wondering if there are any (similar) diamonds you would recommend that are slightly larger (just so I can compare prices).
Thank you for the kind words.
Here are some other options as a comparison:

They all look great to me.
Thanks for sending those through. We’ve decided on your original suggestion (SKU: 2338923) with the three-stone setting.
We’re (read: she) is absolutely delighted, and really appreciate your assistance. It’s such a minefield trying to negotiate the diamond-buying process and Diamond Pro is an incredible resource: I’ll certainly be sending my friends your way for advice.
Please let me know if you have any trouble getting credited by James Allen and very best wishes for the future.
That’s great news! I’m glad I could help you decide on the ring.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for thinking about us. It is enough if you used this particular email address to make the purchase. It will help us to double check with JA.
I’d love to see the finished product. If you can send me the link to the completed ring (James Allen will email you a link when with a photo), I’d appreciate it.
As promised, here’s the link to the finished product:
