Hey there,
I was directed towards your service through a friend going through the same process. I am starting to look for an engagement ring and am trying to find the best deal I can. I don’t know enough to go out and buy one. I have however done some research on my own which has helped. My friend mentioned that you guys might help.
I know my girlfriend really likes the oval shaped diamond. She really likes big ones but I am more concerned with quality as I know the better the quality the bigger it will look. She likes the solitaire oval with a simple small yellow gold band. This is pretty much where I am at so far. I hope that narrows it down.
Could you give me the ballpark budget you’re planning to spend? That will help me understand what carat weight we’re talking about.
I am thinking $7,500.
I found these two diamonds that I thought you might like:

Blue Nile LD12021631
Both are beautiful, clean to the naked eye and will be very brilliant. They are longer in shape which gives them the illusion of a larger diamond which might be something your partner could enjoy.
Those diamonds are beautiful. However do you think it might be possible to go slightly smaller as I will have to get the band too. I’m not really sure what bands cost in yellow gold as I have never considered buying the diamond and band separately. I do however know that the band can just be simple and dainty. Nothing big and bulky.
A solitaire setting doesn’t cost much. Look at these two:

Ok that’s very good to know!
Thank you for the help.
