Q&A: Looking for a 0.30 Ct. Round Diamond for a White Gold Solitaire Setting With a $1,000 – $1,500 Total Budget

I am trying to buy a diamond engagement ring.

What I am looking for is around 0.3 carat and round shape one. I have been checking James Allen and Blue Nile, but it is still very confusing. I am wondering if I can get any recommendation.

My budget is around 1000$-1500$ including the ring. I will be waiting for your response. Thanks!

What style setting (solitaire, pave/side stones/halo) and metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) do you want to use?

I want a solitaire setting with white gold. The diamond could be 0.3~0.4 carat depending on the price.

Thank you for the info.

Here’s my recommendations:

They are beautifully cut, eye-clean and all of them will be very brilliant.

Thanks for your help!
0.3 carat from James Allen looks fine to me!
