Hi, first of all, this is a great site. Thank you for putting up such useful information.
I have chosen the ring, a solitaire white gold,
https://www.jamesallen.com/engagement-rings/solitaire/14k-white-gold-2mm-comfort-fit-solitaire-engagement-ring-item-7086?a_aid=dmnd1357
I now just need to find a diamond so that I could have it made a shipping by James Allen, and was hoping might be able to help me chose one?
My budget for just the diamond is 1.5 – 1.6k usd.
I have seen a stunning ring in a shop with the following characteristics 0.54 ct, F, si1 (6600 usd!!). So something like this, but maybe a few ct bigger if possible??
I hope I am not being too cheeky, but I would really appreciate a quick reply if possible, I am hoping to order this today/tomorrow.
Thank you very much again.

Apologies,
I have just sent you an email asking about a diamond. I realise that I used the wrong exchange rate. My budget is more like USD1900 / 2000.
Many thanks again.

Hi, sorry for the third email.
Whilst you are looking for me, I would really appreciate your thoughts on this diamond: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.56-carat-d-color-si1-clarity-excellent-cut-sku-242002?a_aid=dmnd1357
I look forward to hearing from you and the possible choices you have – I am sure they will be great.
Many many thanks again.
I’m just a little confused. If I’m reading this correctly, you want something larger for a third of the price. I can’t do both. Here is a diamond that would be equally stunning for 70% less than what you saw:

I can find you a larger diamond, but it would be lower color/clarity

If I was picking for myself, I’d go with the 0.61 I VS2. I love the cut on it, the price is great and the strong fluorescence will brighten it up.
What do you think?
Thanks for this timely reply. The diamonds you suggest are excellent.
I have gone for the 0.55ct rather than the 0.61. I appreciate the cut of the 0.61 – it really looks great, but prefer to go with 0.55 for the colour and didnt want to go with any fluorescence.
Many thanks again!
Let me know how it looks when it arrives.
