Q&A: Looking for a 1 Ct. Round Diamond for a Petite Solitaire Ring with Tapered Band for Around $7k Budget

I stumbled upon your website whilst researching some of the online diamond stores, your reviews & advice to others has been a big help! So I thought why not take advantage of it myself 🙂

I’m looking for a simple, petite solitaire engagement ring with a tapered band. 0.95 crt+ with a surface of around 6.4mm+. Cut very good+, grindle medium-thin, colour G-J, fluorescence medium-strong is ok, clarity S1+. I’m a size I-J so I’m hoping a 1crt will look quiet nice.

Any words of wisdom or some pointers in the right direction would be wonderful.

I’d be happy to help. What is your ballpark budget?

Thank you for your response, $7000 all up would be our max budget.

I’d recommend these diamonds for you:

What do you think?

Thank you, I like the first one!

What is your opinion on a diamond like this on a 1.5mm 18k white gold band?
