Looking to buy an engagement ring online.
Budget of up $35,000 round cut, carat size between 1.5-2.25 and a size of 7.5.
The setting I was looking at was the Blue Nile’s French Pave.
Here’s what I’d recommend for a pave setting:
Blue Nile LD10734036
They are beautifully cut and either of them will look amazing.
What do you think?
Hello, I think they are great choices would there be any advantage I going up in color? On either diamond and the larger one seems to have a lot of inclusions would they be visible?
I’m glad you like my suggestions.
I recommend eye-clean diamonds only and none of the tiny inclusions on the larger one will be visible to the naked eye. I don’t think you would benefit from a higher color grade, you’d get the same look for a significant price difference.
Thank you so much for the help! I like the second diamond out of the two you showed me. I will be doing it in the next week or so and can’t thank you enough!
Great! I’m glad I could help.
