I’m looking for a 1 Ct. princess cut with a 5,000 budget. I’ve been looking at places like, Brian Gavin’s, and other online companies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brian Gavin is an excellent choice. He is known as one of the worlds experts when it comes to perfectly cut diamonds. BGD’s Signature diamonds are truly fantastic.They are all incredibly brilliant. I’d be happy to make some recommendations for you, but I need a little more info.
What style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones/halo) and metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) do you want to use? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color).
I’m sorry I didn’t include that in my first email. Solitaire and white gold.
I’ve looked at a couple of .80 pointers on Brian’s site and 1.1. I’ve also been all over James Allen’s
Great, thanks for the additional info.
I like these diamonds for you:

They are well cut and any of them will make a beautiful ring.
What do you think?
Which of these do you like best and what settings to you like? I really like the Melissa from Brian Gavin. Does James Allen have something similar?
Well, the BG’s diamonds are real eye-catchers, but the diamonds from JA will have a lot of fire as well. It depends on you, your taste and your budgeting.
Maybe this one?
