Q&A: Looking for a 1 Ct. Emerald Diamond For a White Gold Setting with Tapered Baguette Side Stones

By Mike Fried, Updated October 24, 2017

Hi, I need help looking to find a emerald diamond 1 carat or above.

I am close to 100% set on this side stone setting, https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/side-stones/14k-white-gold-tapered-baguette-diamond-engagement-ring-item-7101?a_aid=dmnd1357.

I am looking to spend at most 6,000-6,500. The setting i’m interested in is 1,200, so I have around 5,000 for the diamond. 1 carat would be the smallest I would be interested in, but the bigger the better. Basically the largest nicest diamond for the lowest amount of money would be ideal.

Thank you. 

 What do you think of this one?

Its bright, eye-clean and a great value. What do you think? 

 

 

 That’s a really nice diamond… Do you think it would pair well with this specific setting? https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/side-stones/14k-white-gold-tapered-baguette-diamond-engagement-ring-item-7101?a_aid=dmnd1357

Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it. 

 I think it will go great.
