I need advice on the right type of diamond to purchase for a halo ring setting (ring size 7).
Looking at 1 to 2 carats total weight. My budget preference would be under $5000.
Are you looking for a round cut diamond? Also, what metal (yellow/white gold, platinum) should be the setting in?
First choice is round cut, for an 18k white gold setting.
Thanks for the info.
Here are the biggest diamonds I found within 5k:
Blue Nile LD09905380
Blue Nile LD09857961
They both are eye-clean, well cut and will look very bright and brilliant.
Since there is no significant difference in the actual size (look at the measurements), I’d go with the 0.96ct one.
What do you think?
My pleasure.
Let me know how it goes.
