Hello, First I would like to say that this site has been extremely helpful! Keep it up, Im sure a lot of people have benefited from this site!
I am looking for an engagement ring +/- $6500. and im seeking your help! I have been looking at James Allen and after reading about diamond color and clarity I am a bit hesitant in purchasing the diamond as I am not sure if it has too many inclusions. I was hoping you could give me your recommendation.
here is what I am looking for – please assist if I can get better value for my money.
Budget: +/- $6500.
Ring Setting 18k 2mm 4 prong knife edge solitaire engagement ring ( is 2.5mm setting better? )
Diamond shape: ROUND
Diamond Carat : .1.00ct
diamond Colour: F-H
Diamond Clarity : please help!
Diamond Cut : True Heart/ Ideal
Thank you in advance!
What do you think of this one?
With that setting, I don’t see a reason to spend extra for an H. But if so, here is what I’d recommend.
Thanks. The diamond below – will it be eye clean?

I have also been looking at the ben moss website – which would you recommend between the two.
Thanks for your help!!
I’m sorry, you are comparing apples to oranges.
1) the JA diamond is eye-clean.
2) The diamond you are looking at has no legitimate certification and is far inferior in quality. They don’t offer an actual photo of the diamond either.
Thanks for your Help – I went ahead purchase the Diamond from JA – cant wait till it arrives!!
Sounds great. Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.
