Thanks a lot for your web site which help me a lot to find my engagement ring.
I am looking for a diamond for 1ct, budget for around 4500USD.
Could you please suggest any diamond you think will look great. Thanks a lot.
Can you tell me what shape of a diamond, style setting (solitaire, halo, pave or other) and metal (platinum/ white or yellow gold) you are going to use? Then I’ll be happy to help you.
I am looking for a round diamond for setting a pt solitaire ring. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for the information.
I found the following 1.03 carat diamond:
Blue Nile LD07114014
It’s a very well cut stone and it’ll appear with high brilliance and fire. You can also ask for its real picture to make sure that it’s eye-clean.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks, it is a little bit over my budget, I mean 4500 together with the setting.
And also , how should I shop with the table and depth % and also the measurements.
Thanks.
We recommend going for diamonds with depth between 59% and 62.8% and table 55% to 59%. Preferably, the depth should be between 60.0% and 62.0% and the tables between 55% and 57%. In our experience these diamonds return light with the highest brilliance and fire.
As you plan to set the diamond into a solitaire platinum setting I suggest going one color grade lower in order to find a diamond as close to 1 carat as possible. J color stone is still going to appear colorless in this setting style you can read more here: https://www.diamonds.pro/education/color/
I found these two diamonds for you to look at.
Blue Nile LD07229865
Blue Nile LD07216698
Both of them are greatly cut and will appear with high brilliance. I also suggest asking for a real picture to make sure they’re eye-clean.
With all my appreciation I would like to inform that I have bought the diamond you suggested through Blue Nile.
It was simply brilliant and my fiancee love the ring so much. I must thank you for your kind help and great suggestion. Your service was prefect for a person first time buying such expensive thing online and I appreciate having quality advise from someone other than a merchant.
Will definitely recommend your site and hope u can continue this beautiful practice and it was indeed very important for people who are looking for an engagement ring.
Thanks a lot for your kind words. It was been my pleasure helping you and I’m very happy to hear that your fiancee loves the ring.
