Can you help me find a radiant cut diamond, G or H color, 1 carat to 1.5 carat, for approximately $5,000? I plan on a very simple solitaire setting in white gold. My preference is the square radiant cut but I’m open to the rectangular cut.. I’d like to find the best polish an symmetry possible. I’ve been looking at James Allen’s offerings and I need a little help. Thanks again for your guidance.
This is my recommendation:
Its well cut and eye-clean. Excellent polish and symmetry are a waste:

Thank you. By way of confirmation of your selection, I had also picked that diamond. I was also looking at #420709. 420709 is a little over the $5,000, but I thought it might be worth it even though the color is an I.
Would you be willing to give your opinion on that diamond as well?
Thanks again, and I’m grateful for your help.
I would love to, but I can’t look those up. Do you have the links?
Sorry, but I’m not sure how to share that. Should I send them as attachment?
If you have the diamonds on hold, you can still open their links. Open up each individual diamond, then copy/paste the link.

Sorry. I’m a techie stumbler.
No problem. I like that diamond alot. Normally we don’t recommend I color, but that is a bright, well cut diamond.
Done deal then. You are the best.
Thanks. Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.
