Q&A: Help in Choosing Between 2 Diamonds on James Allen

By Mike Fried,

I love this site. Thank so much for your kindness in helping me. The #1314209 diamond at James Allen is the one I’m interested in. Its a little over my budget which I’d like to keep at 3500 or below for the stone, but if this is an exceptional diamond I’d be willing to go that little extra. Thanks

That’s a beautiful stone! You’ll be very pleased with it. If you’re ordering a ring as well, then don’t forget to use the TAD0611 coupon code!

Again thanks for all your help there is one other stone that I would like your input on it’s james allen #1326785 for $3570 there’s only a $230 dollar difference but this one is .91. Which one is the better deal?

Happy Turkey Day

That 0.91 stone is definitely a better deal. If you look at the actual dimensions, it’s basically the same size as the 1.01ct stone.

Let me know which one you decide to go with!

I already went with the 1.01, but I think what you do is great and will recommend your site to my friends who will be getting engaged shortly. I learned so much from you and thank you again.

That’s a very nice option as well. Did the coupon work for you, btw?

Either way, please let me know what you think when it arrives!

I ordered it over the phone and told them about the coupon and was given a 10% discount on the setting I chose. I will definitely let you know when it arrives how I like it. Should be a week from Monday.
