Q&A: Looking for a Classic Style Engagement Ring for Around $4,500 Budget

Looking for a round diamond, white gold solitaire setting. Budget is around $4500 for the diamond.

Can you provide a couple of options?

I looked around and I like this combination for you:
Blue Nile Low Dome Comfort Fit Solitaire Engagement Ring
Blue Nile LD08181154

This diamond is beautifully cut, eye-clean and will be very brilliant. Medium fluorescence will help it look a bit whiter.

What do you think?

That’s a nice diamond. Do you think I need a VS1 or could I get something a little bigger but down in clarity, but still look good of course.

Thanks!

……

Also is the crown angle of 33 and the LGF of 85 an issue?

I was actually searching several websites in the SI2+ clarity and this diamond happened to be the largest eye-clean option I could find. The crown is a little lower there, true, but in this particular case it’s completely fine, all the angles and percentages work well together.

Thanks, I may pull the trigger on that tonight when I get home.

Now a hard question. My girlfriend is 5 ft 11, 135 lbs, very athletic, has somewhat larger hands. She owns no rings that I can measure, and I want this to be a surprise. I am thinking of a size 7 ring and maybe sending it back if it needs adjustment.

Thoughts? The good thing Is that the setting isn’t that much anyway.

Hmm, that’s a tough question. Does she have any close friends/family members you could discuss that with? I’m sorry I can’t be of any more help.

Just ordered it, thanks!

Tha’s great news!

I hope you love it when you receive it. If you could let me know how it looks when it arrives, I’d appreciate it.
