Thanks for the great information on your site. I’m interested in a round 1 carat diamond to be set in a plain solitaire (white gold or platinum) setting. My budget is $6000 – $7000. I’d very much appreciate any recommendations you could provide.
Thanks again.
What do you think of these?

It looks like that 1.20ct may be eye-clean. I’d suggest asking JA’s gemologist to inspect them. If its eye-clean, that is a phenomenal value. What do you think?
Thank you very much for the suggestions, they both look really nice. I’m wondering about the size … my fiancé has very small hands and 1 carat looked about right. Could you suggest any closer to 1 carat? Thanks again for the help.
That is great. Better to spend less.

I love these two diamonds. What do you think?
Those two diamonds were perfect. Unfortunately, my fiancé took a bit of time choosing the setting, and both of those are no longer available. Could you please suggest a few more. Again, thank you so much.
Here is a diamond I’d recommend for you:
