Hi, I have been looking over your site and combing jeweler sites trying to find someting that will work for me. My girlfriend wants a cushion cut diamond and I’d like to get the best bang for my buck. I would really appreciate any help that you can offer. I know you recommend H or better color and SI 2 or 1 clarity and a table under 70%. Aside from that I am sort of stuck. I am just starting my search by the way. Thanks again.
I’d be happy to make some recommendations and guide you through the process. What type of setting are you considering? Yellow gold or white gold/platinum? Will it be a solitaire or does it have sidestones/pave? This may affect the colors that I recommend for the center diamond (as we explain in our post on color). Let me know and I’d be happy to send you some suggestions.
It will be a white gold/platinum setting and likely will have smaller stones in the band. Thank you again for your help with this purchase. It is greatly appreciated.
What do you think?
Thank you for the quick response. I like that stone but it will likely be out of my price range once I add the band to it. Are there any close to that slightly cheaper? Thank you again.
I love this one too.
