Q&A: Looking for a 1.25 to 1.35 Ct. Round Diamond For a Solitaire Setting Within $10K-12k Budget

Hello! I have been studying your website for weeks and now know more about diamonds then I ever thought I would! Your website has given me a lot of confidence in picking the right engagement ring, but of course I want/need your opinion before making the purchase.

Below are the details of what I’m looking for and some links to some diamonds I liked:

Diamond: Round Diamond – Would like at least 1.25 carats to 1.35 being the largest.

Budget: $10K-12k can stretch it a bit too.

Setting: Platinum Solitaire (below is the setting I like most)

Your help is truly appreciated! Thank you! 

Thank you for your input, truly appreciated. I shouldn’t be concerned about the inclusions that are included on the GIA report?

Thanks again!
