Hi, I would like some recommendations for choosing an engagement ring. Looking for a princess cut diamond for about the $2500 mark, give or take. Was looking at the James Allen website. I was considering either one of these two diamonds:
Not sure if the first diamond (0.90 carat) is “clean” enough?. I open to other suggestions as well 🙂
Those are not good cut diamonds. I would suggest you something like this:
www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/princess-cut/0.81-carat-h-color-vs1-clarity-sku-292794?a_aid=dmnd1357
It’s a beautiful and eye-clean diamond and far better choice.
If you need to stay strictly within your budget, this would be a good option as well:
